He wasn't looking for trouble that day in the deep mountain forest, but trouble found him. Dorn overheard an ambitious rancher plotting with an outlaw to kidnap the daughters of the owner of a neighboring spread. If he acted quickly, Dorn hoped he could save the girls by spiriting them away before the outlaw's gang took them off the stage on the way to town. But now the gang's begun a ruthless search of the forest, determined to find their prey...and kill anyone who tries to stop them!When this powerful tale of adventure, danger, romance, and hope was first published—under the title Man of the Forest—it was dramatically different from what Zane Grey had originally written. Long passages had been removed, other passages written by someone else were inserted, and the hero's name had been changed to Dale. Now, restored from Grey's original manuscript, this wonderful novel can finally be enjoyed the way its author actually wrote it.

    He has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you turning the page.When Ike and Luka Gunther moved to the Montana Territory to start new lives, they thought they'd left behind all their troubles from their days in Colorado. The brothers had turned in their law badges back home, tired of the headaches the job entailed. Luka had gladly left Nevada City in hopes he could forget about the girl that he could never get to the altar. After outlaws bloodthirsty for revenge arrive in Bozeman, the lives of the brothers are changed forever. Ike and Luka find themselves back on the trail to Colorado to serve justice and confront the past. Secrets will come to light, scores will be settled, and Luka will be forced to face the girl that time and distance couldn't vanquish from his heart.

    He has long since passed away, but his book remains, gathering dust on my shelf when it should have been entertaining good folks like you. So here it is at last: a western with heart written on an old manual typewriter. The story takes place in the badlands of West Texas (where he lived), and is chock-full of all the sprawling drama, heartache, triumph, tragedy, and gun-slinging grit one could desire. The cover of the book is adapted from an oil painting brushed by our father back in 77—one of many. I remember it hanging on the wall when I was a kid. I believe it was his favorite, so thought it only fitting that it be the cover. Now, finally, after all these years, our dad will get the recognition he deserves for both his writing and his painting. I sure hope he can see what's going on down here, 'cause I know it would make him smile. So take a deep breath, and let the troubles of the modern world slip away as you journey back to a simpler time (two simpler times, actually), the old west, and the 1940's....
