Initially published in 1912 and the first of Zane Grey's many best-sellers, this stirring tale of adventure in the high country established the prototype for western novels of the twentieth century. The plot's focus is a proud young heroine who's determined to defend her Utah ranch. She stands alone against the villains who rustle and stampede her cattle--until a stranger rides into the territory.
