So Young the Savage Land
ByPublisher Description
“Zane Grey epitomized the mythical West that should have been” (True West).
Spur Award–winning author John D. Nesbitt carries on that tradition with a novel that captures the wild splendor of the western frontier and the lives of those brave enough to forge their own destiny in an unforgiving landscape.
SO YOUNG THE SAVAGE LAND
Around the town of Hartville, Wyoming, cattlemen and homesteaders work long days under the blazing sun or during torrential storms, raising livestock and tending crops. Cowboy Jord Blaine did more than his fair share of hard labor for the Skull outfit before the foreman sent him packing. Drifting between town and the smaller ranches, Blaine sees good folks struggling to survive against his former employer, spreading across the territory like a plague. Those who ride for the Skull are on a mission to terrify landowners into surrendering their claims.
Their tactics turn deadly when the Skull riders gun down one of the homesteaders. Devastated, yet resolute, Olivia Roundwell refuses to let her brother die in vain, rallying the community around her, and inspiring Blaine to take a stand. Attracted to the courageous firebrand, he takes it upon himself to defend and protect her and everyone in Hartville. It is a decision that brings the boiling bloodlust of the Skull outfit upon him. Outnumbered and outgunned, Blaine will nevertheless risk his life waging a war against an evil, greedy tycoon and his band of merciless killers.

About Zane Grey
Born Pearl Zane Gray in Zanesville, Ohio, Zane Grey is noted for his careful research and accurate portrayal of the American West. Though Grey trained as a dentist, he turned to writing as a career in 1904, when his first book was published. He went on to write more than 50 novels, most of them tales of adventure with a Western setting, including The Last of the Plainsmen (1908), Riders of the Purple Sage (1912), The Thundering Herd (1925), Code of the West (1934), and West of the Pecos (1937). His nonfiction works include Tales of Fishing (1925). Many of Grey's novels continue to be extremely popular, and several have been adapted into motion pictures.
