Description

Milt Dale is the Man of the Forest. Living alone in a camp in the wilderness called Paradise Park, he prefers the company of bears, cougars, and wolves to that of the surrounding ranchers and troublemakers. But one day he overhears a conversation that changes his life and convinces him to leave his wild paradise to save a young woman from certain doom. The pioneer spirit runs in Helen Rayner’s blood, but it may not save her from the nasty end that tough guy Snake Anson has planned for her. To get his hands on her uncle’s ranch, he needs to get rid of Helen—by any means necessary. But luckily for Helen, the Man of the Forest is not about to let that happen.

    This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I wish I had known Zane Grey. What a great mind and soul! His books take one to a better world.

    This novel is a well crafted story, truly a page turner. As I write this I am missing the characters as if I've known them. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be trying to choose another western written by Zane Grey. A story of transformation. Beautiful descriptive prose. What a great find! Highly recommended.

    The story transported me out of 21st century suburbia into the Wild West. It richly described the life of a woodsman and the life of a city girl who is transitioning into a life in this untamed place and the meeting of the two. So, it's a love story as well. The landscapes are beautifully laid out. While the love story is predictable the back plot has many twists and turns, all the while stirring the imagination into a believable idea of life and landscape in that time in history. I love this kind of story which not only makes a romantic connection between a couple but makes a romantic connection to the country and period where it is placed.
  • Great book!

    The story was great, though lacking a little bit in the main characters romance lol at the end of the book I knew more about Bo's relationships than Nell's. But other than that it was a wonderfully descriptive story. The way Zane describes the mountainsides was amazing.
