She was named Columbine, for she had been found as a child, lost in the woods, asleep among the columbine flowers. And now that she had turned nineteen and had finished school in Denver, she had returned to her beloved Colorado range land, where she would have to face the problems—and the people—in her life.
There was old Bill Bellounds, the man who had raised her. There was the wild boy Jack whom people expected her to marry. There was Wilson Moore, the cultured cowboy who she considered her friend. And then there was the mysterious rider who came no one knew from where—a gentle, middle aged man, but so terrible a gun fighter that they called him “Hell Bent” Wade—who would come to play the part of fate in all their lives.
The Mysterious Rider is a romance and adventure story with the breath of the Western plains and mountains in its pages.

Zane Grey® (1872–1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. More than 130 films have been based on his work.
