From the bestselling author of Riders of the Purple Sage, comes
another classic Western tale. The sun set across the purple sky
over the Don Carlos Rancho while the warm Santa Fe breeze rustled
through the grazing fields just off the trail. The Colonel sat on
his porch, staring over the whole scene, pondering the
seemingly-doomed future of his prized cattle ranch. "Another spell
with my heart like this last one will kill me," he said nervously
to his right-hand man, Britt. Afraid it would break her, the
Colonel kept his condition from his alienated daughter, Holly who
was shipped off to boarding school in the East at the tender age of
eight. The Colonel would settle for nothing less than the best
education for his daughter. Not to mention, the West crawling with
outlaws, thieves, and greed was no place for a naive, young woman.
However, in the wake of the Colonel's death, Holly is forced to
return and take the reins of her father's beloved cattle empire. In
the midst of hordes of outlaws ransacking the ranch and
antagonizing their stock, the heiress must learn the ways of the
West alongside the Captain Britt, in an attempt to salvage what's
left of her father's dream. In the spirit and glory of a classic
Western, and published exactly as the author originally intended,
Knights of the Range, is one of Zane Grey's swiftest and most
exciting novels. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad

Australia brings to mind images of the Great Barrier Reef, great
white sharks, huge crocodiles and friendly people. Zane Grey fished
everywhere, but he often found himself lured back to the Pacific
especially around Australia and New Zealand. Most of the fish
caught in An American Angler in Australia are sharks (great white,
tiger, even a few carpet ) but you can't go big game fishing in
Australia and not expect to be teased by marlins.
Zane Grey is best known as fishing writer for the wild adventures
of catching world record giants in the oceans around the world. He
published collections of stories about particular places and
species of fish. Tales of Fishes is a wonderful collection of
stories that range over the most sought after species of salt water
fishing-tarpon, bonefish, sailfish, marlin, swordfish, and tuna.
It's a perfect sampler to whet the appetite of every armchair
angler. Zane Grey was one of America's most prolific and beloved
writers. While best known for his Western novels, he actually spent
as many as 300 days a year fishing.
Zane Grey, known and loved primarily for his Western novels, was an
avid fisherman. When his writing started paying off, he managed to
spend as many as 300 days a year enjoying the sport. And while he
is remembered for his record-breaking catches, such as the
464-pound marlin caught off the coast of Tahiti, Zane Grey also
enjoyed freshwater fishing for bass, trout, steelhead, and salmon.
In Tales of Freshwater Fishing, Grey recounts his expeditions on
the Delaware River, off the West Coast of the United States, and in
British Columbia. These tales are illustrated with 100 black and
white photographs taken by Zane Grey.
When not writing his famous Western novels, Zane Grey was an
insatiable angler. Tales of Southern Rivers recounts his tales of
fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, the Everglades,
and on remote rivers in the jungles of Mexico. With many of these
venues being some of today's most popular saltwater fly-fishing
destinations, no one will want to miss these highly entertaining
and informative yarns. Armchair fishing will never be the same.
