Zane Grey (1872–1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife published his first novel themselves. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground, in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or be 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. Motion picture rights brought in a fortune, with 109 films based on his work.
