Though he made his name and fortune as an author of Western novels, Zane Grey’s best writing has to do with fishing. There, he was free from the conventions of the Western genre and the market’s expectations, and was able to blend his talent for narrative with his keen eye for detail and sense of humor (much of it self-deprecating) into his books and articles. This book is a selection of some of Grey’s best work; the stories and excerpts revealing a man who understood that angling is more than an activity, that it is a way of seeing, a way of being more fully a part of the natural world.
On June 25, 1876 five troops of the U. S. Seventh Cavalry under command of General George Armstrong Custer rode into the valley of the Little Big Horn River expecting to rout the Indian encampment there. Instead they were met by the gathered strength of the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors, who did not run but turned to battle the soldiers. White Bull charged again and again, leading a war party until the last soldier lay dead. The battle became known as Custer's Last Stand, and Chief White Bull as the warrior who killed Custer. In 1932 White Bull told his own side of the story to Stanley Vestal. "All that I have told is straight and true," said White Bull. His story is a matchless telling of the life of a Sioux warrior.
The Outcasts had come upon a young boy in danger. After his own blood kin was cruelly murdered, the boy was left an orphan, and the only witness to the cold-blooded crime. The Outcasts knew they had to help the boy find a home, but they didn't know the ki

Stu Carlson serves people drinks. Night after night, in the dry Texas heat, he stands behind the bar and listens to troubles and sorrows and worries and regrets-not too far off from his old position behind a pulpit. Doling out counsel and care, Stu's a compassionate man. When the scotch he serves Andrew Washburn-Dean of Fine Arts and all-around asshole-turns out to have been poisoned, Stu is shaken. A regular at Stu's bar, meek and talented Daniel Lackland, is arrested for the crime. It seems he had means and opportunity to spike the drink-and the most classic of motives. Two years earlier, Washburn stole Daniel's wife. But Stu knows better. He believes in Daniel, believes in the power to of a man to move on after his wife leaves him. Hell, he has to-after all, Jocelyn left him, and he's doing alright. Isn't he? Stu's plight to clear Daniel and find out the truth behind Washburn's murder isn't just about saving an innocent man from prison. Stu confronts his belief in himself, his loss of faith, and his realization that ministering to those in need can be done just as well with dishrag and beer tap at hand.

Flatboat pilot Eli McBee and his partner Seth Booker leave their former life on the great Mississippi River to seek their fortunes out west. Drawn by the promise of an unspoiled paradise rich in furs, they set their sights on the banks of the uncharted Re
"One of the best acid tests of an introductory book...is that the text allow the reader to learn an important skill independent of the illustrations. Fly casting is very difficult to teach in person, and even more so in print, yet this book contains the best, the most interesting, and the most effective introduction to fly casting I have ever read. I think Terry puts the emphasis in the right places...he doesn't neglect entomology, but he devotes twice as many words to trout behavior, a far more interesting and useful pastime if you must introduce a scientific bent into your fishing. If this is your first fly fishing book, you are very fortunate, you're starting off on the right track. If you've read others before, I think you'll agree with me that you wish this had been your first." --Tom Rosenbauer.

They gathered on the banks of the Purgatory...wandering souls on the run from the past...or in search of the future: Hernan Eduardo and his sister Elena, posing as husband and wife to hide her shame; Aaron, who has fled from danger his whole life, and who now would have to summon the courage to stand up for his rights; and Talks To Ghosts, a native on a vision quest, about to discover the tragic fate of his people. They joined in love and violence along the waters of the Purgatory...
