This is a literary discussion of one-half of Zane Grey's Westerns,
with a chapter for each selected book. The choices stem from
wishing to best show the broad scope of this one-time best-selling
author's interests in the West. It explains how these novels
""work"", while pointing out Grey's ecological concern for our
natural world - its vastness, colour and beauty. Wild nature
provides a powerful setting but is a determinant of action and of
character too. The range of subjects encompasses not only cowboys
but also prospectors, foresters and other frontiersmen - from the
end of the Revolutionary War to the flapper era of the 1920s. World
War I veterans, including an American Indian, are portrayed in
several books, and women are colourful main protagonists in others,
all uniquely characterised. Grey's sure ear for dialogue is key to
his vivid presentation of the ideals of the Old West.
