Thrilling Tale of Love and Adventure From Desert Opens On Page 7 Today
Zane Grey
Famous author whose story will be published in the Bagley Independent.
A descendant of the famous Zane family of frontier origin, he was born in Zanesville, O., and received his early education in that place. Later he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, but outdoor sports attracted him more than school or routine, and he played amateur, college and professional baseball.
Pioneer instincts and love of the open drew him to the West. Much of the material for his stories has been obtained in western travel, especially in out-of-the-way places. He delights in picturing the deserts, particularly the arid expanses of Arizona and Sonora. No writer excels him in this specialty.
Truly remarkable is his ability to impart the fascination and mysterious qualities of the great wastes.
Zane Grey has written many successful novels of which none is more charming than "Desert Gold," for which the Farmers Independent has secured exclusive right of publication in Clearwater county. First installment of this fascinating story appears on page seven of the Independent today. It is a story that will interest young and old alike.
Here is a romance that is alive with action and so real that no severe tax is placed upon the reader's credulity. Whether or not the incidents and human participants were taken from life, it is a certainty that such things have happened, and such people have figured in the history of the Southwest, particularly that borderland forming the boundary lines between Mexico and the United States.
The hardihood and courage of the settlers and rangers, the cruelty of bandits and guerillas; the craft, mysticism and guile of Yaqui and Papago Indians are the elements in this wonderfully stirring tale. Added to these are the lure of gold and a tender love story, while pervading it all is the fascination of the ever mysterious desert.
