Code of the West - Zane Grey - 1934 This version is rare

Description: Code of the West - Zane Grey - 1934 This version is rare - very hard to find. The Code of the West is a thrilling tale about the code of honor in the Old West. These rules were believed to have been first captured in writing by western author Zane Grey, which outlined a moral compass. In 1934, Grey wrote “The Code of the West,” and although they hadn’t been detailed in this fashion before, many pioneers of the American West followed these rules inherently. Better than any other writer, Zane Grey vividly shows the West as it truly was, defining itself through an unwritten code of honor and values, and he details the consequences when an outsider refuses to live by it. "-- Detailing behaviors in terms of loyalty, respect, hospitality, fair play, and general dealings with your fellow man. Born in 1875, Zane Grey was raised in Zanesville, Ohio, a town founded by his mother’s family. His passion for the American West was aroused in 1907 when Grey toured the West with Buffalo Jones, a noted hunter and adventurer. Grey published a total of 85 books — popular adventure novels that idealized the Western frontier. Riders of the Purple Sage remains his best-known book. He died in 1939 in California. He read Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and George Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans, many times, as well as the Frank Castlemon books Frank in the Mountains and Frank at Don Carlos' Rancho. He also read Our Western Border and learned the history of Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton, and his own ancestors Colonel Zane, Betty Zane and Isaac Zane who married the Wyandotte Indian princess Myeera after she saved him from burning at the stake. These literary influences determined the direction that his early writing would take.Details : Length - 7"Width - 5"Depth - 1"
