About Zane Grey

(1875-1939) Zane Gray was perhaps the most successful writer of Western novels in the world. Born in Zanesville, Ohio, he was a New York dentist until 1904, after which he authored some 60 novels of the old west, including "Riders of the Purple Sage," "The Lone Star Ranger," "Code of the West," and "West of the Pecos." Many of his novels were made into films, and many continue to be best-sellers, over 60 years after their author's death.
