Arizona Ames they called him, and for years his name struck fear into the hearts of bad men all over the West. To some people Arizona was a badman.

Things began to happen on the first page of this book, when old Cappy Tanner appears, driving his burros up the trail to Mescal Ridge to see his old friends on the Ames ranch, and things happen every minute from then on until at last Rich Ames finds peace and love. You'll like Arizona Ames. He will thrill you with his courage in the face of danger. You'll admire him for his terrible quick justice. And you'll come back to read of him again and again, as if he were an old friend.

Vanishing American, The

Here is the great romance of the American Indian -- revealing in the swift march of its events the tragedy and the glory of a whole race, and the true essence of the West, as only Zane Grey can express it. It is the romance of Nophaie, the young Nopah warrior, cursed with the strange and conflicting heritage of a white man's education and the fierce soul of an Indian. How Marian Warner; golden-haired, fascinating, came from the East to the bleak tablelands of the great Western reservation, and how she shared with Nophaie his struggles in behalf of his people, make a story more enthralling than any Zane Grey has before written. He has portrayed unforgettably a situation unique in fiction, the story of a love which, passionate and unconventional, gathered its strength from the great crimson canyon tops where Nophaie and Marian met.

Wild Horse Mesa

Up and up from the desert below sped the hunt for Panguitch, greatest and most sought after wild stallion. But Panguitch was more than a horse; to a man he was the symbol of all adventure, and to a girl the symbol of her romance. The pursuit of Panguitch, then, was fraught with meaning for both. Zane Grey has never created so attractive a heroine as this girl, who, with her father and a resolute party, sets forth to conquer Wild Horse Mesa. The intrigues of an outlaw who found his way into the camp, the fine devotion of two brothers; the stirring account of the capture of a herd; and then, finally, the last stand of Panguitch and the smashing events which bring the story to a conclusion -- make this perhaps the best romance Zane Grey has written.

Wildfire

Illustrator: Frank Tenney Johnson (1874-1939)

Lin Sloane had tracked the untamed red stallion Wildfire, from Utah up into Colorado, and had captured him, but he was only the nominal owner, for Lucy Bostil had won the love of this beautiful animal and had captivated the heart of the "wild horse rider" as well. Lucy was the pride of her father's heart, having inherited his love of horses and his perfect fearlessness. One day she raced Wildfire against her father's "favorite," and won. On a later day, in another race, Wildfire saved Lucy's life against a forest fire. Like all of Zane Grey's novels, this one is straight, clean and exciting -- perhaps, if possible, it is a little more thrilling than any of the others.
