A true story of Zane Grey's experiences capturing mountain lions
alive, which makes ordinary hunting with guns seem, in contrast,
about as exciting as a Sunday picnic. Everyone has heard of roping
cattle and wild horses, but roping mountain lions on their home
ground is another matter. Zane Grey, with four Western rangers, a
Navajo Indian, and a pack of very lovable dogs (who are as much
real individuals as their masters) set off on this adventure
hunting with camera and lasso. Often funny, sometimes nearly
tragic, always wildly exciting, the account of how they captured
six of the tawny, fiery-eyed demons which infest the bottom of the
Grand Canyon, and got them into camp alive and growling, will
enthrall the great host of Zane Gray's readers, and everyone else
who likes an usual yarn full of courage and thrilling action.
Zane Grey (1872-1939) was an American author best known for his
popular novels presenting an idealized image of the Old West. Grey
is best known for his novel "Riders of the Purple Sage."
