The Riders of the Purple Sage Summary

Riders Of The Purple Sage -- Adobe PDF ebook. Zane Grey’s classic work.

In the middle of the stream waded a long string of packed burros driven by three superbly mounted men. Had Venters met these dark-clothed, dark-visaged, heavily armed men anywhere in Utah, let alone in this robbers' retreat, he would have recognized them as rustlers. The discerning eye of a rider saw the signs of a long, arduous trip.

This Western written in 1912 by Zane Grey marks the beginning of a different enterprise of heroic undertakings by rugged cattle ranchers than had ever been portrayed before. The unvarnished representation of life on the western plains of the Utah-Arizona border shows a realistically rough existence tolerated by its inhabitants rather than merely displays their gallantry which was the subject of earlier cowboy adventures. Grey presents a conflicted wealthy Mormon rancher who wants to protect her estate from being overtaken by the Church. The beautiful Jane Withersteen is approached by members of the Church asking her to hand over a gentile worker she has hired to help attend the herds and maintain the fields. Jane desperately prays for guidance, and Lassiter (a gun-slinging sage-rider) gallops in from the horizon. He drives off the calculating persecutors, battles cattle rustlers, and eventually discloses the tale of a perpetual search for a woman kidnapped long ago. The story unfolds revealing seduction, silence, bondage, and escape on the desert-swept open country. Incidents of bravery, chivalry, spectacular horsemanship, and ready shooting produce the framework of this story. The Mormon Church's attempt to marry off Jane against her will adds a breathtaking element to the plot.

In the remote border country of South Utah, a man is about to be whipped by the Mormons in order to pressure Jane Withersteen into marrying against her will. The punishment is halted by the arrival of the hero, Lassiter, a gunman in black leather, who routs the persecutors and then gradually recounts his own history of an endless search for a woman abducted long ago by the Mormons. Secrecy, seduction, captivity, and escape: out of these elements Zane Grey built his acclaimed story of the American West.

This book has been called the most popular western novel of all time. For those just interested in a Western, this is it. Villains and heroes contend in southern Utah in the 1870s. The book also describes the conflict between Mormons and Gentiles for the land. It's all personalized by the struggle of the heroine to live with her Mormon upbringing and beliefs when faced with moral dilemmas. This is an Enhanced Letter Format (ELF) book. This means there are five versions which you will receive. There is a version in 28 and another in 48 point type. In addition, each type size has a version suitable for printing and one for viewing on a computer screen. These four versions are in PDF format and are accessed from a main menu.

A sharp clip-crop of iron-shod hoofs deadened and died away, and clouds of yellow dust drifted from under the cottonwoods out over the sage.
