Riders of the Purple Sage celebrates the frontier experience and mourns it’s passing. As the story opens a wealthy woman rancher in Utah disobeys her church’s elders and begins to lose her stock and workers. Help arrives in the person of Lassiter, a hired gunfighter who routs the persecutors and then reveals his own motivation for taking on the Mormon establishment. Grey used characters like Lassiter to show how powerful men could be, but also how they were able to be changed by women and develop deeper ties to the community without putting their masculinity at risk. At a time when America had lost the frontier, and the country’s ethnic mix was changing, Grey offered an ideal where all could meet as equals, judged only by their willingness to work.
Autoren-Porträt von Zane Grey
Born in 1875, Pearl Zane Grey was raised in Zanesville, Ohio, a town founded by his mother’s family, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1896. His father was a dentist in Ohio, and Grey followed him in that profession, but in New York City. His passion for the American West was aroused in 1907 when Grey had an opportunity to tour the West with Buffalo Jones, a longtime hunter and adventurer. Under Jones’ guidance Grey traveled through the desert, chased wild horses and hunted cougars. His journals of the time were filled with glowing passages about the beauty of the land.With the publication of Riders of the Purple Sage Grey found his audience and went on to publish a total of 85 books. In 1937, now a wealthy writer with homes in California, Arizona and Tahiti, he suffered a stroke while fishing for steelhead on the Rogue River in Oregon. He recuperated sufficiently to go on a fishing expedition to Australia but suffered a heart attack and died on October 23, 1939 at his home in Altadena, California.
