Zane Grey's Westerns (Volume 1), including The Last of the Plainsmen, The Heritage of the Desert, The Young Forester, Riders of the Purple Sage, Ken Ward in the Jungle, Desert Gold and The Rustlers

Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) is a master storyteller who, according to critic Russell Nye, "combined adventure, action, violence, crisis, conflict, sentimentalism, and sex in an extremely shrewd mixture." Consequently he is the best known author of novels about the Wild West. His great storytelling skills have been transferred to film over and over again. The Internet Movie Database credits Grey with 115 films as of April 2015.
