“Grey had a deep and pervasive effect on the way America saw itself, and he was a crucial - perhaps the crucial - figure in the romanticization of the West that has yet to loose its grip on the nation” New York Times

When Keven Bell returns from four years serving in the US army during the First World War he learns his mother has died and his fianc�e has left him for another man.

Disfigured and mentally weakened from his injuries in battle, Keven struggles to adjust to life back in his childhood town.

But one thing has not altered from his life before the war: his passion for fishing on the Rogue River.

He partners up with his old friend Garry Lord to hunt for salmon and make a living selling the catch.

But there is not only salmon in the river. There is the whisper of gold...

As competition increases for the bounty in the river, Keven is faced with an old enemy. And before he knows it the fragile new life he has built is under threat.

Forced to go on the run, Keven finds redemption in the most unlikely of places.

Rogue River Feud, first published in 1930, is one of Zane Grey’s lesser known novels. It is an ode to the beauty and power of nature in Southern Oregon where Grey spent many happy years.

"Grey was a skillful writer who combined easy readability with artful embellishment," Thomas H Paulym author of Zane Grey: His Life, His Adventures & His Women

“A great deal of the charm of many of Grey’s books is to be found in his descriptions of the minutiae of common Western life” – Journal of Western American Literature
