In this fascinating true story, the famous American author Zane Grey, best-known for his romanticized stories about the old West, recounts his experiences with the plainsman Buffalo Jones.
In âRoping Lions in the Grand Canyonâ (1924), Grey, along with Jones and a Navajo Indian, set off on an exciting adventure to lasso, capture, and preserve the mountain lions that prowl the depths of the Grand Canyon. Jones also famously helped save the buffalo from extinction.
With its wonderful descriptions of forests and the rugged grandeur of the canyons, Grey hoped to inspire his readers to help preserve the great American outdoors for future generations.
Great for fans of Zane Grey that want a little twist on the Western motif
