Riders of the Purple Sage
Unabridged Original Classic
by Zane Grey
A classic of the western genre by master storyteller Zane Grey, Riders of the Purple Sage is the story of Lassiter, a black-clad gunslinger who appears in a small frontier town in a remote corner of Utah just in time to thwart the matrimonial designs of a Mormon elder upon an unwilling bride, the young and beautiful rancher Jane Withersteen. Lassiter does not appear by chance, but is on his own quest, which ends with the discovery of a hidden grave on Jane’s ranch.
Propelled by Grey’s characteristic mix of action, adventure, romance, violence, conflict, and sentimentalism, Riders of the Purple Sage is one of the most widely read westerns of all time.
This quality volume is not machine-scanned or a reproduction of an older edition. Prepared by human editors, it presents the complete unabridged text of Zane Grey’s classic tale in a freshly edited and newly formatted edition printed on heavyweight bright white paper with a fully laminated cover. A generous 6″x9″ page size and 11-point print make this edition easier on the eyes than most trade or “grocery store” modern paperbacks.
ZANE GREY…
Zane Grey (1872–1939) was an American author best known for his popular western adventure novels and stories. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his best-selling book, and his westerns are still widely read, with many never having been out-of-print. In addition to the perennial commercial success of his books, over 100 film adaptations, several western television series episodes and a television series have been based on Grey’s novels and short stories.
Grey published over 90 books, including those published posthumously and originally published as magazine serials, which have sold over 40 million copies. Grey placed nine different books on the top ten bestsellers list between 1917 and 1926, with sales in excess of 100,000 copies each time. One of the first millionaire authors, sales of Grey’s books exploded all over again in the 1940’s and 1950’s with the advent of paperbacks, and more of his books have become films than any other American author.
