The book is not as well paced or intense as Riders of the Purple Sage. Shefford is no Lassiter. He too often gets lost in his own dream world and needs others to snap him out of it. He is more a hero by accident and by the setup by others. I was sorry that Lassiter was portrayed as old and frail.
I was hoping for at least one good gunfight where he could shine. I thought Fay Larkin was portrayed well, wished she had really done the deed. Jane Withersteen was portrayed as just a shadow of her The book is not as well paced or intense as Riders of the Purple Sage. Jane Withersteen was portrayed as just a shadow of her former self. I thought the new generation of Mormons and the exploited Indians were also well protrayed. Once in awhile you come upon a book or books that speaks to you on a different level then all of the others and that is what "The Riders of the Purple Sage" and "The Rainbow Trail" have done to me.
The descriptions of the vastness and beauty of the American West along with its history and romance told by a true artist is a combination that is hard to recover from.
I will need a day or so to absorb all of this before I can let go and begin another book. Zane Grey was a true artist and a must read Once in awhile you come upon a book or books that speaks to you on a different level then all of the others and that is what "The Riders of the Purple Sage" and "The Rainbow Trail" have done to me. Zane Grey was a true artist and a must read for lovers of the written word. Nov 17, Debbie rated it it was amazing. I love Zane Grey, but this one far outshines most of his books. The descriptions of the canyons and the river and the tension of the adventures were so exciting, I couldn't wait to finish the book, and yet I hated to say good bye to the characters.
This is my second reading of the story, and it was better this time! I was so happy that Lassiter and Jane got out, and so glad the Mormon religion has changed their practices of "sealed wives".
I think Zane liked the Mormons, but hated some I love Zane Grey, but this one far outshines most of his books. I think Zane liked the Mormons, but hated some of their ways. Jun 21, Theresa rated it it was amazing Shelves: western , adventure , classics , historical-fiction. What a lovely continuation to Riders of The Purple Sage. A disgraced minister heads to the desert to find himself and a girl named Fay Larkin that in his mind will be his salvation. In that beautiful desert, he finds love, loyalty, friendship and himself. The friendship between Shefford and Nas Ta Bega alone made the story a five star read.
Again, I love a good bromance. I was a little upset by how queasy Shefford was over Fay killing Waggoneer, but it all righted itself. Jane's horse still knowing her was a lovely sentimental touch. Mar 11, Betty rated it it was amazing. I loved this book. I was so fascinated by the author's descriptions that our next trip was planned around this exciting landmark in Northern Arizona. We took a boat trip on Lake Powell and hiked from the landing to the site of this natural bridge. The story itself was fascinating, being the culmination years after the end of "Rider's of the Purple Sage.
I could read these two books time and again. Yesteryears reading, revived! Picturesque, soul searching, romantic, mysterious, educational, enlightening, fascinating plot that kept me reading for several hours, and hating to lay it down even when I knew I must! Jan 20, David rated it liked it Shelves: ebook , kindle. Sequel to "Riders of the Purple Sage", Grey clearly has issues with Mormons and presents Indians as noble, wise people.
The Rainbow Trail
Description of the landscape is first rate. The story is melodramatic. Book 2 John Shefford at age 24 has been removed as preacher over doctrinal disagreements with his church. Providentially he meets Bern and Bess Venters, a wealthy equestrian family of three, who relay to him a fantastic tale. Bern is distressed he's never been able to return and see to their well-being. Shefford volunteers to go, since he's no longer obligated to the clergy and has plenty of money for an extended trip.
He is also haunted at the thought of Fay Larkin. She would now be a young woman about 18 ; his own damsel that he could rescue from a perilous life of imprisonment. Fay Larkin. She calls to him, he dreams of her. He is irresistibly drawn to find her. Traveling the desert and the peaked border of Arizona and Utah, Shefford arrives in a hostile, arid world he's unprepared for and has no inkling of the perils that await him.
Providentially he punches a missionary grappling with a young Indian girl and wins the loyalty of her brother. Nas Ta Bega now calls Shefford, brother. He teaches Shefford how to stay alive, saves his life numerous times and identifies Fay Larkin for him. She's been freed from the enclosed valley, but is now imprisoned in a secret Mormon village. Up to this point the story is great and intriguing. Then it starts to lag as Shefford goes through an infatuation with Mary aka Fay who's told him that Fay has died.
Mary goes about her life as a prisoner-wife in the Mormon village and is visited at night by her polygamist captor likely the sufferance of Stockholm syndrome. Once the Indian reveals her to be Fay, they engage in tortured dialogue; Fay's acquiescence with her situation and Shefford who dares not hear the name of her master, fearing he might kill him before he mounts a rescue; and similar unbelievably boring nonsense. Years after Lassiter, Jane and her foster daughter, Fay were sealed in the lush Surprise Valley, the deplorable Mormons returned.
They just won't leave them alone. The Mormons used ropes to descend inside the valley and abduct Fay, now a young woman. She's coerced to go with them and "marry" the Mormon leader or they'll kill Lassiter and leave Jane sealed in the valley alone.
