1484. Zane Grey, 1872-1939
Zane Grey was an Eastern dentist who became a highly successful author of westerns. However, critics considered his writing stilted, his characters wooden, his situations unrealistic, and his plots melodramatic. Despite this, he has probably been the prime factor in crystallizing the European, and to some extent even the American, "conception" of early Western life. After becoming rich on the income from his novels, Grey passed much of his time in outdoor activities, especially fishing. This resulted in a number of autobiographical books (discussed in the Sports and Recreation section of this bibliography), which were more favorably received by many critics, although less well received by the general public. His books are still popular in cheap editions.
1485. Riders of the purple sage. New York, Harper, 1912. 334 p. 12–1131 PZ3.G87Ri
This has probably been the most popular of the more than fifty novels by Zane Grey. Because his plots were almost all constructed on one basic formula, this book may be used to exemplify that aspect of his work which has had such a wide non-literary influence.
