From the master of the Western comes a stark tale of the frozen North: Zane Grey's The Great Slave follows a young chieftain's fight to lead his starving people to freedom. First published in 1920, this stirring wilderness story carries the reader deep into the Canadian sub-Arctic, where Siena - a Crow warrior marked out by prophecy - masters the white man's rifle to feed his famished tribe, endures captivity and famine under a rival Cree chief, and leads a perilous escape northward to found a new nation beside a great inland lake. Zane Grey (1872 - 1939), the best-selling novelist who did more than any writer to popularise frontier fiction, here trades the sun-baked mesa for snow, hunger, and sheer endurance. It later appeared in his collection Tappan's Burro and Other Stories.
