Zane Grey 150 -- January 31, 2022

Motion Picture News, 21-May-1921

Zane Grey was born 150 years ago today, on 31-January-1872. He was a popular Western novelist. I had read about movies made from his stories, so I took a few novels out from the Anza Branch Library. It turns out that he was not a very good writer, but he did produce interesting characters and descriptions. Many of his short stories and novels were made into movies. We once visited his cabin near Payson, Arizona some years before it burned down. 

Last year on my other blog I had a Zane Grey Week:

Zane Grey Week -- 02-June-2021

Zane Grey was a popular Western novelist in the first half of the Twentieth Century. I had read about movies made from his stories, so I took a few novels out from the Anza Branch Library. It turns out that he was not a very good writer, but he did produce interesting characters and descriptions.

I thought I might join with producer Benjamin B Hampton and have a Zane Grey Week. Please visit over on my movies-mostly blog: Big V Riot Squad
