Wildfire is an amazing book written by Zane Grey. This fantastic book has a story that takes place in Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon is captivating! The main character is a rancher who is so obsessed with his love of delicious horse flesh that he loses control and treats others poorly. His daughter rescues a horse hunter and his mount; she develops a relationship with him and competes against her father's prize mount. Then, as retaliation, her father kidnaps the daughter and holds her hostage for a ransom after he accidentally causes another man to lose his horses by disobeying his requirement to ferry them across the river. Will she ever get rescued by anyone? Although the story was a "black-and-white western," its main themes were truth and ethics. This is a timeless masterpiece thanks to the thrill of superb horsemanship and excellent Western heroes!

What Jack London did for dogs in Call of the Wild, Zane Grey did for horses in Wildfire. This is indeed the story of a magnificent wild stallion, his capture, his love for a girl, and his race against odds so large, only Zane Grey could imagine and put on paper. The geographic region ZG describes is known today as Monument Valley and you can see his love and his realness in his description; and if you've ever been there, which I have, you can see Wildfire running again in your mind's eye among the turrets, and the shattered upheaval of rock. Also, in the story is how the two main characters Lin Sloan and Lucy Bostil fall in love with the horse's help, of course; and the horse thief who wants to steal this magnificent animal. But the romance is secondary to the story of the horse. Read if for yourself, and see if I am right in my evaluation of this book.

Horse story
A great story by Zane Grey. This was my Dad's favorite boyhood book of all time. (He was born in 1912). I also loved it as a child (I was born in '39); and have just given a copy to my 12-year-old granddaughter, a horse lover.
