作者简介
Zane Grey, born Pearl Zane Gray on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio, is a pivotal figure in American literature, shaping the Western genre with his vivid narratives and adventurous tales. After changing his name to Zane Grey, he initially struggled with his literary pursuits while practicing as a dentist in New York. Grey's passion for the West and its untamed landscapes led him to abandon dentistry and devote himself to writing.

Grey's writings are characterized by their rich depictions of the American frontier, combining historical authenticity with romanticized adventure, resonating with readers craving escapism and heroism in the untamed wilderness. 'Fighting Caravans,' published in 1929, exemplifies Grey's narrative flair, offering a tale of peril and love set against the backdrop of pioneer trails. With over 90 books to his name, many of which were bestsellers during his lifetime, Grey's legacy is enduring, influencing the Western genre in literature and cinema. By the time of his death on October 23, 1939, Grey had become one of the first millionaire authors, his work ensuring his place as a cornerstone of American Western fiction (May, S. R. (1975).
