Milt Dale, man of the forest, halted at the edge of a timbered ridge, to listen and to watch. Beneath him lay a narrow valley, open and grassy, from which rose a faint murmur of running water.

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.
