First, I'm reviewing the book, not the movie as those above seem to be doing.
Zane Grey is hit and miss. I don't like Riders of the Purple Sage (which seems to be the book by him most people read first), but this is one of the great ones.
You really feel for the hero (and heroine) of the story and Grey really brings to life of freight haulers who made settling the west possible.

For comparison, I also really like Twin Sombreros and Knights of the Range (about Brazos Keene).

When Clint Belmet's mother and father were killed in Comanche raids, the lad had to grow up fast. So he took over the reins and drove supplies up and down the Santa Fe trail, with a little help from his friend Kit Carson. But Clint made an enemy of the man who loved his fiancee--a man as dangerous as the badlands themselves.
