A collection of three western classics by early twentieth-century American author, Zane Grey, that includes "To the Last Man", "The Mysterious Rider," and "The Lone Star Ranger."

Three classics of the western genre by the greatest of its founders

Zane Grey is the most famous writer in westerns, a founder of the genre. His works have been made into more than one hundred movies and his stories have endured for a century, influencing all others in the genre.

Three fine, characteristic works are included in this omnibus: To the Last Man, the story of Arizona's Pleasant Valley War―an historic brutal family feud that ended in universal slaughter; The Mysterious Rider, a romantic adventure featuring Hell Bent Wade, a basically good man with a violent temper that leads him to murder―and redemption; and The Lone Star Ranger, the tale of a youth turned gunman turned Texas Ranger―and perhaps the spark that inspired that mythic character, The Lone Ranger.

“[Zane Grey] knows the West.” ―The New York Herald

“[A] masterpiece of its kind…. Replete, rounded, rich in every feature which pertains to the genre in question. [Grey] reaches out to the full length of his stride.” ―Publishers Weekly on The Mysterious Rider
