New York: Harper & Brothers, 1928. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 7x5x1. Mulford, Stockton. First edition (B-C code). Lacks jacket. Spine toned. 1928 Hard Cover. 365, [6] pp. Light brown cloth, black titles, Stockton Mulford endpapers. A sequel to Forlorn River, originally serialized in seven issues of The American Magazine. Inspiration for a 1927 silent film directed by John Waters and starring Gary Cooper, Thelma Todd, and William Powell, and a 1944 film starring a 27-year-old Robert Mitchum, with Anne Jeffreys, Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, and Richard Martin in supporting roles. "Returning after five years, Tom McComber found that the peaceful little Nevada town hadn't changed much. The Circle-M, the hugh ranch that his father had held through years of bitter conflict, was still intact. One thing, however, was changed. Tom's former wife was going to marry his father! Nevada, the suspenseful sequel to Forlorn River, continues to be one of Zane Grey's most beloved novels.

El Apr 10 2020, un lector dijo:
When Jim Lacy rides away for his partner, Ben Ide, he is at a loss as what to do. He had settled his debt to his friend in the book "Forlorn River" and despite having fallen in love with Ben' sister, Hettie, he knows the RIGHT thing to do was to ride away; for he was not worthy of Hettie's love. "Nevada" has always been considered one of Zane Grey's best loved and known works--much more so than "Forlorn River". And I really don't understand why that is the case. Unless the reason is: More people can recognize more of themselves with character of Jim Lacey than they can with Ben Ide. But for whatever reason this book has always been rated higher on the scale of Zane Grey's books. Nevada has left Ben and returned to Nevada where he known as Jim Lacy, and after a series of adventures and two passing years he overhears a conversation between his boss and a judge about his old friend, who is now in Arizona. Their suspicions about Ben cause Nevada to offer his services, as range detective, his only condition, if he lives through this ordeal, his name will be cleared. They agree. During these years, Hettie Ide has longed for Nevada, not understanding why he had run away; for she loved Nevada, and love was all that mattered to her. Nevada IS one of Zane Grey's best books, I even rate it as high as its sequel, but I do like the first novel better, and I suggest you had better read "Forlorn River" first to make the story fully understandable.
