Four of the Best

All of the novels in this collection are excellent novels. My personal favorite is Desert Heritage, the unexpurgated version of Heritage of the Desert which was what I call Zane Grey’s first true “western” in 1910. It has everything a person has come to know belongs in a classic “western”. Shepherd of Guadaloupe is a great romantic story of how a dying soldier comes home expecting to die, but for the love of a woman tries his best to live. War Comes to the Big Bend was first published as The Desert of Wheat in 1918 and deals with espionage, socialism, and the nefarious activities of a real organization at the time known as the IWW—Industrial Workers of the World—who wanted to over throw the United States. You will find no shoot outs in the streets or the like but you will follow a young man as he strives to be a man who must do his duty to his country during World War 1. Robber’s Roost is more of the conventional “western”. What everyone knows Zane Grey writes—the some of which one critic said could be written on the back of a stamp. How untrue and unfair. All of these are romances to be sure, yet only books Zane Grey could have written.
