Synopsis
Excerpt from The Heritage of the Desert: A Novel
The speech pierced John Hare's drift of dreams, and its import, grim in sullen expostulation, stung to life his fainting spirit. He opened his eyes. The desert stretched there, the appalling thing that had over powered him with its deceiving purple distance. Near him stood sombre-clad figures, two apart from the others, a gray-bearded giant watching with grave eyes the one who had spoken. Stern silence brooded between them, a silence of conviction, for in the little man's words, in his outspread palms, in the flame 'of \his eyes, spoke the truth.

About the Author
American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.
