| Zane Grey wrote 78 books, mostly in the first two decades of the twentieth century, typically romances of the American West. His portrayals of cowboys and Indians, Mormons and lawmen have come to be part of American culture, influencing the way the West is viewed to this day. His settings ranged across the west, from the Rockies to the low desert, but most notably the cowboy country of the high plains, and the redrock canyons of Utah.
In addition to writing, Grey was a fanatic fisherman. He travelled the west, and the world, fishing fresh and saltwater, and wrote a number of books about fishing.
