Out of affection for her foster father, Columbine had agreed to marry Bill's son., Jack-a drunkard, gambler, coward, and thief. But the man she really loved was cowboy Wilson Moore, and he was everything Belllound's son should have been.Then the strange, clairvoyant little man they called Hell-Bent Wade came to work at the ranch. "You can believe me when I say somethin' will happen," he declared prophetically. "Columbine isn't goin' to marry Jack Belllound's.

This independently published version is editorially sanitized. I do not know how it impacts the story. Regardless, it's an ideological rewrite. To paraphrase Santayana, those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.

Very touching story by the great Mr. Grey. Beautiful descriptions and characterizations throughout, as we follow “the mysterious rider”, through a story that builds to an exciting climax. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Lass, there's got to be balance in nature. If it weren't for the ugly an' the evil, we wouldn't know the beautiful an' good..."

More than just your ordinary Western, I simply love the manner in which this author writes! Do yourself a favor and grab more than one from a collection like Zane Grey Collection ASIN: B01D5FCIOW, The Zane Grey Collection: 38 Classic Works ASIN: B00DGX79IO so as to get more bang for your buck. A great read and leave you with one final passage before I ride off into the sunset "I love life, with all it brings. I wouldn't have the joy without the pain." Get this book!

This is a book I had read long ago. Zane Grey describes a land of wildness, wilderness, deep romance, and of justice. I read this story with the the light of adolescent ideals. I reread this story with the light of maturity. I enjoyed it more having already lived much of my life.

Zane Grey was one of my favorite authors in my youth and I've read all of his books, but after purchasing this one in large print for my brother I found myself wanting to read it again. My brother has need of large print and it is more pleasant for me also. I'm so glad I purchased this for him.

The mysterious rider is a very fascinating story as most of Zane Grey's novels are. However I would like to comment on another book that I failed to comment on in the past. The book is O Henry's Cabbages and Kings which in my opinion is the best book ever written and I would give it about ten stars. I have read it manny manny times.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018

A type cast old fashioned western. The hero is true to helpless maiden. The good folks are perfect, though set on by tragedy. But the plot has some twists and turns,and the descriptions of the hills beautiful in bloom, and the man at home in that element is very visually written. His characters are written with their drawls of the west,so thouroughly convincing that it surprised me to find that Zane Grey was actually a dentist working on teeth. I guess it might have been an escape for him as well as for his readers!
