As thrilling as any of the famous author’s tales of the cattle country is this of the wheat lands of the Northwest. For here is the same action, suspense, and vigor that have made Zane Grey’s books loved by so many thousands of readers.Kurt Dorn was born to battle. First, there was his father whose cupidity and obstinacy blocked him at every turn. Then there was his unbidden love for Lenore Armstrong, daughter of the wealthiest man in the district. And now there was immediate danger-with an organized band of lawless men attempting to ruin his wheat harvest. How Kurt leads a group of farmers against the menace, and how, through it, he solves many other problems, makes a stirring tale. -From the original book jacketAn often overlooked but redeeming masterpiece that combines regional agriculture and history, political unrest, wartime issues of identity, patriotism, fear and trauma, and the emerging validation of women as courageous, intelligent, and capable, The Desert of Wheat is well worth reading even now over 100 years since its first publication.This re-publication includes commentary about Zane Grey and his impact on literature and the national psyche, as well as rare photos obtained by Richard Scheuerman whose unceasing passion for this subject matter, his background as a historian, educator, and farmer, as well as his relationships with other Zane Grey scholars has coalesced in a valuable annotation of the work.
