Summary
Zane Grey: Riders of the Spanish Mountains
Another superb masterpiece from the pen of Zane Grey, the uncrowned king of western literature. Set against the majestic, harsh and snow-bound winter wilderness of Colorado, this novel delivers a tense, dynamic and deeply romantic tale of survival, honor and redemption.
After the Great Depression of 1929, the Laramie family loses everything they owned in Kansas. Father John, mother and their three grown-up daughters head to the far West in search of a new beginning and by chance come across the huge, abandoned ranch Spanish Peaks, hidden under the slopes of the harsh Spanish mountains. But that ranch once belonged to the notorious, charismatic and invincible outlaw Thiry Prest. When Prest and his gang unexpectedly appear, instead of driving the newcomers away, he sets them an incredible challenge: if they manage to survive the harsh winter in these isolated mountains, the ranch becomes theirs. A perfect read for anyone who longs for classic Wild West adventures, revolvers, horse chases and untamed nature.
