Pearl Zane Gray studied dentistry at the University of Pennsylvania
on a baseball scholarship, and later played with a minor league
team. He met and later married Lina Roth, whose inheritance helped
support his efforts to become a writer. He pioneered the Western
genre. His first western, "Heritage of the Desert," became a
bestseller in 1910, and he went on to write over sixty books, many
of which became films.
In "The Mysterious Rider," Bill Bellound's foster daughter
Columbine agrees to marry his son Jack out of love for her foster
father. Jack is a coward, drunkard, gambler, and thief, and
Columbine really loves the cowboy Wilson Moore.
Things are changed by the arrival of the title character, a
gentle and kind middle-aged man who is so fierce a gunfighter he
has earned the nickname Hell Bent Wade, and he will play a crucial
role in righting the wrongs of the story.
