About this audiobook

Zane Grey
American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.

Reviews for The Spirit of the Border
5 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In keeping with his time, Zane Grey romantisizes the story, but he nevertheless presents a great tribute to the men and women who gave so much in the first wave of westward expansion. The man is a great descriptive writer.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Historical fiction about pioneer's in the Ohio valley during the late 1700's. This one is more grounded using actual characters of the Ohio frontier, including Lewis Wetzel and Sam Brady.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great tale of long ago. The history of our young country is beautiful.
