This well-preserved copy of Zane Grey’s Book of Camps and Trails offers a window into the life and adventures of one of America’s most prolific and influential writers of the early 20th century. Published in 1931, just four years before Grey’s death, this autobiographical work captures the renowned novelist’s passion for the great outdoors through vivid descriptions of his many camping and hunting expeditions across the American West. Complemented by Lee Townsend’s striking photographs and illustrations, the book transports readers to the rugged landscapes that inspired Grey’s beloved Western novels, such as Riders of the Purple Sage. With a foreword by Franklin K. Mathiews, Chief of the United States Forest Service, this volume is a must-have for collectors of Grey’s works and outdoor enthusiasts alike, providing a rare glimpse into the author’s personal experiences and his deep reverence for nature.
