About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1941. Hardcover. Very Good/fair. [2], 300 p.; 19 cm. Publisher's light green cloth with darker green spine title and cover title. Illustrated dust jacket; the back section of the dust jacket contains a list of books in the publisher's Madison Square Books series. This is identified as part of that series on the front dust jacket flap. Copyright 1909 by A.L. Burt Co.; no date of publication. Grosset & Dunlap acquired the rights to some of A.L. Burt children's books in 1938 from Blue Ribbon Books, which had bought A.L. Burt the previous year. This volume was part of Grosset & Dunlap's Madison Square Books series, issued under the restrictions imposed during World War Two; this series ended in 1945. Therefore this edition of Zane Grey's The Last Trail was published during the period 1941-1945. Former owner's name on front free endpaper. An unusual "western," set along the Ohio River in the days after the American Revolution when Ohio and Kentucky were the American frontier. Book is in Very Good Condition: ends of spine slightly browned; corners lightly rubbed; pages are browning, as is typical of this paper, but clean and tight. Dust jacket is in Fair Condition: lacking paper at ends of spine and upper edge of front section; old tape discoloration along lower edge; front section creased; chipping along edges; in mylar cover.
Reviews
On May 12 2020, a reader said:
The Last Trail is the final installment of the trilogy Zane Grey wrote about his ancestors and the part they played in the American Revolution, and the establishment of the frontier. This book focuses on Jonathan Zane and Lew Wetzel both "border men" who either lived with the Indians, or as in Wetzel's case fervently hated the red man. But without the likes of either there was no way the frontier could be made safe for the influx of settlers. This is the country where Zane Grey grew up, fished, and tramped through the woods learning the woodcraft and skill to know of which things he wrote with unsurpassed accuracy, and it shows in his books. Romanticized, to be sure, yet accurate to a T in history, this book makes for a great read for anyone who wants to learn more about this country in its earliest of days. I recommend it without hesitation.

Classic supernatural fiction is distinct from contemporary horror because it is more literate and often relies upon poetic subtlety rather than unpleasant gratuity to create an atmosphere. Enter if you dare!
Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
