Birth Date missed
Ooops. I missed a birth date. So here it is belatedly.
I have an old copy of Spirit on the Border—my grandfather's book—a book I had to sneak to read as a nine-year-old. It was one of the books that inspired me to write. I guess it's a western; the "border" is the Alleghenies, and Ohio is the great frontier and was very much the West for the period of the story.
Zane Grey (1872-1939)
He produced nearly ninety books (about half were published after his death), fifty-six were set in the West. Born in Ohio, Grey traveled throughout the West and owned a cabin in Oregon and also along the Mongollon Rim in Arizona. Grey became one of the first millionaire authors.
