Tales of Lonely Trails

By: Zane Grey

Narrated by: William Hope

Zane Grey wrote about the West and lived it as well. Tales of Lonely Trails is a collection of true travel tales describing his explorations of uninhabited areas of the west, much of it on pack horses with a guide.

Here are descriptions of his hunting, camping, and exploring trips in the wild and desolate parts of the West, including Arizona territory, Colorado, Death Valley, the Tonto Basin, the Grand Canyon, and more. These adventures gave him the firsthand experience that he later used in writing his descriptions of the landscape and characters of his Western novels.

Good camping read.

The non-fiction hunting camp and travel tales told here are some of the inspiration behind Zane Greys famous western fiction novels.
Published in 1922, this read provides an interesting view/reminder of how life and language change over time.
Slow to start and again in the end.
Overall enjoyed the book. So crazy to think there was a time not that long ago people actually got paid to rope our big cats!!
