"The very essence of the American West is to be found in the stories of Zane Grey, whose popularity has not flagged since his first Western was published in 1910. The stories collected here for the first time in book form are a sample of his finest. The nine selections include "The Ranger", first published in 1929 in Ladies' Home Journal, appearing here for the first time as written, "The Camp Robber" and "Monty Price's Nightingale", frontier mysteries, and "Lightning", a classic tale of a wild stallion and the wranglers who want to capture him."--Publisher's description.
