Riders of the Purple Sage / To the Last Man / The Thundering Herd / The Hash Knife Outfit / West of the Pecos by Zane Grey. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780517322215.

Five Complete Novels of the American West, by the great Zane Grey (1872-1939): Riders of the Purple Sage, To the Last Man, The Thundering Herd, The Hash Knife Outfit, and West of the Pecos. With thrilling poignancy Zane Grey recreates those turbulent years when dispossessed Indians fought savagely to protect their hunting grounds, when buffalo fell by the thousands to the white mans bullets, and when men and women struggled to seize this wild and beautiful land and make it their own. Grey knew intimately and loved passionately the country he immortalized in these magnificent novels. Red-rimmed canyons, purple sage, vast Texas prairies, hidden streams, and waterfalls form an incredibly rich background for his vibrant frontier tales. In Riders of the Purple Sage, a tragic past blights the life of a beautiful, wealthy woman and reaches even more strangely into the fortunes of the elusive masked rider of the purple sage. To the Last Man is a novel of blazing guns, swift horses, and fearless men who hang on until the bitter end. Men risk their lives in The Thundering Herd to make a quick fortune from the hide of the noble buffalo. Can a tenderfoot from Missouri outsmart and outfight the most dangerous band of desperadoes in the land- The Hash Knife Outfit? The lawless land West of the Pecos was no place for an aristocratic young woman, even one trained to ride and shoot like a man. Here is the American West-- glorious, squalid pitiless, unforgettable.
