orangefan65's review against another edition
4.0
4 stars just because it's Zane Grey. A very entertaining little western with horse thieves, good and bad native Americans, and the beginnings of civilization in the Ohio River valley.
mothership's review against another edition
3.0
We inherited several Zane Grey stories from grandparents on both sides, so figured they must be worth reading. This was my first.
It was a fun story, very predictable and followed the western stereotypes, including some racist Native American stereotypes. Nevertheless, it was entertaining and oh so noble. There was nothing challenging or unexpected and the writing wasn't notable, however it never claimed pretension. Overall, an enjoyable few hours! I think I'll read another!
