Thomas Pauly, in almost endless detail, describes Zane Grey's life from birth to death. He catalogue every up and down in Grey's life, due to his own bad judgments, his philandering, his obsessive need for exotic adventures, his open marriage and companionship with numerous women on his travels while his wife handled all the business matters and publishing. Eventually, due to his remarkable talent for vivid descriptions of Arizona and Utah scenery, cowboy life, Mormonism, the rugged independence and lawlessness of the early west, Grey became the best selling author of the 1920's and 1930s, but squandered away all his gains.

Zane Grey was a disappointed aspirant to major league baseball and an unhappy dentist when he belatedly decided to take up writing at the age of thirty. He went on to become the most successful American author of the 1920s, a significant figure in the early development of the film industry, and a central player in the early popularity of the Western. Thomas H. Pauly's work is the first full-length biography of Grey to appear in over thirty years. Using a hitherto unknown trove of letters and journals, including never-before-seen photographs of his adventures--both natural and amorous--Zane Grey has greatly enlarged and radically altered the current understanding of the superstar author, whose fifty-seven novels and one hundred and thirty movies heavily influenced the world's perception of the Old West.
