Zane Grey 
Man of the Forest 

"The Man of the Forest" is a Western classic that tells us the story of the 30-year-old Milt Dale, a valiant man who prefers the splendid isolation and solitary life of a hunter. One day, while sheltering in an abandoned hut from a storm, he overhears Snake Anson’s plan to kidnap Al Auchincloss’s, a distinguished rancher’s niece. Everything is a part of Beasley’s cruel plan of taking over Auchincloss’s ranch, but Dale does not hesitate to spring into action in order to rescue rancher’s niece. Will Dale’s bold plan succeed, or Beasley’s man will accomplish his evil plot? Zane Grey’s guns-and-glory novel is also adapted to a movie in 1933. –
