Reviews
On Apr 10 2020, a reader said:
The Knights of the Round Table go West is how this book has always been depicted in reviews over the years, but I am here to tell you: That is a gross misconception of this book. Actually, this is the story of a young woman, Holly Ripple, who loses her father and inherits a large cattle empire overrun with rustlers and desperados. And yes, a group of young devil-may-care cowboys, led by Renn Frayne, come to the rescue. The story is really all about her; her strength, her determination to build a ranch the likes of which had never been seen. Also, introduced in this book is Brazos Keene who shoots his way through this novel and stars in "Twin Sombreros". Knights of the Range is classic Zane Grey--not a spectacular book like the early novels, but a pleasurable, good read.
