Description

The prolific frontier author chronicles his wagon train trek through Arizona

Zane Grey's handwritten diary from a trip to Arizona to the Beaver Dam Canyon in Eastern Nevada, 75 pages in ink and pencil, 3.5 x 5, dated from September 25-November 4, [1919-1920?]. His journey begins, in part: "We left Flagstaff on Sept. 15 with the largest outfit I ever got together. 21 horses, 3 wagons and we had grain hauled extra from Winslow so far as it could be brought by truck." He discusses the weather throughout the journey, sights and experiences along the route, and the people he traveled with. In fine condition. A fascinating firsthand account of a Western journey by the well-known author, whose tales of the American West have captivated readers for over a century.
