Last of the Duanes by Zane Grey
Restored original script from which the first part of Lone Star Ranger was adapted. Restored Version from Dorchester Publishing 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 And so a masterpiece of Western fiction remained unpublished in book form for more than eighty years. Finally, this powerful tale is available in its entirety in paperback for the first time! 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. The Lone Star Ranger was adapted from the first part of this book combined with Rangers of the Lone Star. |

The Desert Crucible by Zane Grey
Restored original script from which The Rainbow Trail was adapted. Restored Version from Dorchester Publishing Perhaps no novel of the West is more famous or popular than Zane Grey’s classic Riders of the Purple Sage. From the start, the novel was a sensation and the public immediately began clamoring for a sequel. Though a sequel did indeed follow just a few years later, it has never been available in the complete form that Grey himself intended. Instead, an abbreviated and dramatically censored version was released under the title The Rainbow Trail. Finally, after nearly ninety years, the sequel to Riders of the Purple Sage has been restored from Grey’s original manuscript, the missing and censored material has been reinserted, and the novel has been published under Grey’s original title, The Desert Crucible. At last fans can read the story of Lassiter, Jane Withersteen, and young Fay Larkin, exactly as Zane Grey intended. |

Restored Version from Dorchester
Publishing
Zane Grey’s masterpiece, Riders of the Purple Sage, is one of the greatest, most influential novels of the West ever written. But for nearly a century it has existed only in a profoundly censored version, one that undermined the truth of the characters and distorted Grey’s intentions. Finally Riders of the Purple Sage has been restored from Grey’s
original handwritten manuscript and the missing and censored material has
been reinserted. At long last the classic saga of the gunman known only
as Lassiter and his search for his lost sister can be read exactly as Zane
Grey wrote it. After all these years, here is the real Riders of the
Purple Sage!
