Zane Grey is considered the creator of the Western genre and remains its most popular author. The famous critic T. K. Whipple praised a typical Grey novel as a modern version of the ancient Beowulf saga, "a battle of passions with one another and with the will, a struggle of love and hate, or remorse and revenge, of blood, lust, honor, friendship, anger, grief—all of a grand scale and all incalculable and mysterious." This fourth Volume contains four more of his novels: The Light of Western Stars, The UP Trail, The Spirit of the Border and The Call of the Canyon.
