About
Zane Grey
Zane Grey (1872-1939) was an American author best known for his adventure novels set in the American West, including "Riders of the Purple Sage" and "The Call of the Canyon." Born in Ohio, he studied dentistry before embarking on his writing career. Grey published over 90 novels that sold millions of copies worldwide. His books were praised for their vivid descriptions of the Western landscape and exciting plots filled with cowboys, Native Americans, and outlaws. He received numerous awards, including the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal and the Gold Medal Award from the Boy Scouts of America. Grey's popularity waned somewhat in later years, but his work remains a staple of Western literature and continues to be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
