Sobre este artículo
NY: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1910. Bound in pictoral dark blue cloth stamped in gold (the gilt is still bright). Only flaw is wear (scuffing) to spine ends. Endpaper professionally restored and book tightened. This is the true first edition of the book with "Published September 1910" on the copyright page. The book has a black and white drawing, "Hare Rode with Mescal" protected by a tissue guard (both are in fine condition). Laid in is a signed check from Zane Grey dated January 21, 1947, Also included is a facsimile for the first state dust jacket that fits the book perfectly. A great gift for the Western Fiction fan. . Signed Check Laid in. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fine (Facsimile DW).
Sinopsis
From the book:BUT the man's almost dead. The words stung John Hare's fainting spirit into life. He opened his eyes. The desert still stretched before him, the appalling thing that had overpowered him with its deceiving purple distance. Near by stood a sombre group of men. Leave him here, said one, addressing a gray-bearded giant. "He's the fellow sent into southern Utah to spy out the cattle thieves. He's all but dead. Dene's out-laws are after him. Don't cross Dene." The stately answer might have come from a Scottish Covenanter or a follower of Cromwell. Martin Cole, I will not go a hair's-breadth out of my way for Dene or any other man. You forget your religion. I see my duty to God.

John Hare has come west to regain his health and to find his place in life only to be branded "Dene's spy" and becomes a hunted man. For me is the best western Zane Grey ever wrote. Combines all that one has come to know in the genre.
