The Young Lion Hunter

Autor Zane Grey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2008
"The Young Lion Hunter" is the story of a young adventurer named Ken Ward, who helps to capture mountain lions and cougars in the Grand Canyon. In this tale, Ken rides mustangs, encounters a pack of hounds the likes of which has never been seen, gains a new appreciation for the insight of Native Americans, and explores a breath-taking wilderness. "The Young Lion Hunter" is an enchanting tale that paints a vivid picture of how the American West used to be - a hundred years ago. It is not to be missed by fans or collectors of Zane's work. Zane Grey (1872 - 1939) was an American author most remembered for his popular adventure novels and pulp fiction set in the Old West of America. He is best known for such works as: "The Border Legion" (1916), "Wildfire" (1917), and "To the Last Man" (1922). Many vintage texts are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Pearl Zane Grey was an American author and dentist known for his novels and stories. He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He was the fourth son born to Alice "Allie" Josephine Zane and Lewis M. Gray. His mother was a Quaker immigrant whose forefather Robert Zane came to the American colonies in 1673. His father was a dentist. Grey studied dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his graduation in 1896. He got married to Lina Roth also known as Dolly in 1905. He had anger issues, depression and suffered mood swings which affected his life. And so, Grey spent most of his time away from the family, while Dolly managed his career and raised their three children. Their family moved to California in 1918 and settled in Altadena, California in 1920 in a home they named as Zane Grey Estate. Grey continued writing during 1930s and was in great depression. From 1925 to his death in 1939 he travelled away from his family exploring the unspoiled lands, particularly the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. He died on October 23, 1939, aged 67 at his home in Altadena, California due to heart attack.
