This is a story of Zane Grey's which he wrote in 193 and had rejected. so he cobbled part of it together with part of another, The Lone Star Rangers, to make a commercially successful story which was made into movies several times. Finally, in 1996, the original version was brought out by Loren Grey, Zane's heir. It concerns Buck Duane, the young son of a dead gunfighter in early Texas, who is pushed into a fight by a drunken cowboy and kills him, and goes on to become an outlaw who kills a number of other people (the editors who rejected the story apparently felt Buck killed too any people to be a good guy). Given the usual "code of the west' (fictionally, anyway) I am a bit surprised that killing one man in a fair fight was enough to make Buck an outlaw, but that's the way Grey tells it.

When this unforgettable novel was first published--in a much shorter form--in a magazine in 1914, it was a rousing success and was made into a movie four times by 1941. Yet when Zane Grey submitted the full-length manuscript to his book publisher, it was rejected because it contained too much gunplay. And so a masterpiece of Western fiction remained unpublished in book form for more than 80 years. Finally, this powerful tale is available in its entirety.Buck Duane's father was a gunfighter who died by the gun and, in accepting a drunken bully's challenge, Duane himself was forced into the life of an outlaw. He roamed the dark trails of southwestern Texas, living in outlaw camps, until he met the one woman who could help him overcome his past: a girl named Jennie Lee.
