Description
This splendid, powerful, classic novel was written in 1911, but for over ninety years it has existed only in a profoundly censored version, one that undermines the truth of the characters and the integrity of Zane Grey's masterpiece. With a text based on Zane Grey's handwritten manuscript, the real Riders of the Purple Sage can be read at last as the author wrote it.
