Description

About The Book: Originally published in 1912, Zane Grey's groundbreaking novel, "Riders of the Purple Sage," often hailed as "the most popular western novel of all time," unfolds in the canyon country of southern Utah in 1871. The narrative revolves around Jane Withersteen, a Mormon who defies her father's wish for her to marry Elder Tull due to her lack of affection. Jane, now the owner of her late father's valuable ranch, faces persecution from the Mormon community for rejecting Elder Tull and befriending non-Mormon cowboy Bern Venters. The tension escalates with the arrival of a vengeful stranger, Lassiter, seeking justice for his sister Milly Erne's murder. Rich in western intricacies, set against the backdrop of Mormon settlement in Utah, and featuring a mysterious "Masked Rider" and a gang of rustlers, "Riders of the Purple Sage" significantly influenced the Western fiction genre.
