"Hot-blooded Georgiana Stockwell will break a man's heart while he's eating out of her hand. Moving from the East to join her schoolteacher sister in the rugged wilds of Tonto Basin, Arizona, Georgiana makes quite an impression. Despite her sister's best efforts, Georgiana creates a culture clash as her modern, free-spirited personality comes up against the code of the West, the unwritten law of the range that everyone is expected to follow. Georgiana's flirtations and coquetry provoke and outrage the proud Westerners of Tonto Basin. The young and steadfast Cal Thurman is especially taken with Georgiana. Cal is a man of the West through and through, courageous, loyal, sincere, quiet-spoken, and hardworking. Though she never expected to, Georgiana finds herself falling for this man from another world. But things are not as simple as either of them may want; Georgiana soon realizes that loving Cal means coming up against a heritage of honor and violence she couldn't have imagined. She's stirred things up too much, and the pride of the West must be satisfied before things can be settled. First published in 1934, Code of the West is another thrilling tale by the greatest novelist of the American West. Better than any other writer, Zane Grey vividly shows the West as it truly was, defining itself through an unwritten code of honor and values, and he details the consequences when an outsider refuses to live by it.

When the area that is left of the 100th meridian on the map is looked at, the first response is, "THE WEST". Along with that goes, "the code of the West". School teacher Mary Stockwell is joined out west in the Tonto Basin of Arizona by her sister, Georgianna, sent there by her parents because of her outrageous behavior which has caused a "bad" lung. And her doctor, Dr. Jones, agreed: "Georgie had danced and gadded herself into a rundown condition." Code of the West is another Zane Grey novel which speaks to the riotous and unrestrained times in the country. To say Zane Grey was a moralist might be going too far since certain things concerning his life have been revealed in recent years; but he did not smoke nor drink, and he saw such behavior as was exhibited by the younger generation, especially as bad, and as injurious to the country, so he wrote against these social problems whenever he could. Laying all that aside, Code of the West, is an entertaining story with characters you will long remember,especially Tuck Merry,and with fond thoughts as you go back in time to the early years of the 20th century. For most today this is nostalgic, and romantic to think about, yet when this was published it was contemporary. It is indeed surprising when one examines the body of Zane Grey's work just how many of his novels were set in the time and day in which he wrote them, and not in the "Old West" of the 19th century. This is a most delightful book, I would advise anyone to read.
