Zane Grey was a writer of some merit, he wrote dozens of books, Under the T=
onto Rim, Riders of the Purple Sage, etc. He was similar to a lot of wester=
n writers, Max Brand, Louis LaMoore (sic), and so forth. I read most of Zan=
e Grey's stuff at UJH, the books were in the library along with all those T=
arzan books: Tarzan and the Golden Lion, Tarzan and the Jewells of Opar, Ta=
rzan and Donald Duck.=20
Hopalong Cassidy was another series that comes to mind but I forget the wri=
ter, short stories in pulp magazines of the era. Western Tales or some such=
. Great illustrations, beautiful ine drawings by John Clymer and Charlie Ru=
ssell etc.=20
Ok so much for trivial BS
