| Publisher Description: This book contains Zane Grey's classic western novel, "The Last of the Plainsmen." Buffalo Jones embarks on his last mission in this exciting western classic. The character of Buffalo Jones was based on Charles Jesse "Buffalo" Jones, a famous western hunter and guide who inspired Grey to organise a lion-hunting excursion. It was this lion-hunting trip that would form the basis for this exciting fictional tale - full of wild beasts, Indians, and the treacherous travails of a wild landscape unmolested by civilization. The chapters of this book include: "The Arizona Desert," "The Range," "The Last Herd," "The Trail," "Oak Spring," "The White Mustang," "Snake Gulch," "Naza Naza Naza ," "The Land of the Musk-Ox," "Success and Failure," "On To the Siwash," "Old Tom," etcetera. Pearl Zane Grey (1872 - 1939) was an American author famous for writing novels that would become the foundation for the Western genre in literature and the arts. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author. |
