Description
Book SynopsisIn 1927, at the peak of his career, Zane Grey bought a three-masted schooner, which he sailed to the Galapagos Islands, later journeying to Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji.As colorful as his characters were, so too was their creator.
Trade Review“May pulls the reader fully into Grey's growth from an Ohio boy to a lifelong fisherman, a baseball player—and finally a novelist fulfilling the capabilities of the dime novel to become the American myth.” * Choice *
“Though he is best known for his Western novels, May suggests that Grey deserves critical recognition as an outstanding interpreter of the outdoors and as something of a protoenvironmentalist, instead of being shelved as a minor genre writer. His argument in this regard is entirely convincing, backed with ample quotations from Grey's published writings and unpublished jounals. A fine job: May's attentions may well inspire new interest in Grey's largely forgotten work.” * Kirkus Reviews *
