Zane
Gray

Alice
Josephine
Zane
Gray

changed
the
spelling

excellent
baseball
player
. He
won
a

After

years
,
Grey
decided
to
leave
dentistry
behind

Betty
Zane
,

,
drew
inspiration

heard
about
frontier
Ohio
when
he was
growing
up
. He
wrote
Betty
Zane
in
1904
but was not
able
to
find
a
publisher
at
first
.
Refusing
to
give
up
,
Grey
traveled
west
and
continued
writing
. In
1910
, he had his
first
success
when
Harper's
Magazine
published
The
Heritage
of the
Desert
.
Two
years
later
,
Harper's
published
Riders
of the
Purple
Sage
.
Grey
married
Lina
Elise
Roth
in
1905
. The
couple
had
three
children
,
Romer
,
Betty
and
Loren
.
After
publication
of The
Heritage
of the
Desert
, the
family
moved
to
Altadena
,
California
.
Each
year
,
Grey
spent
time
traveling
in the
west
and
fishing
in the
Pacific
.
Grey
died
unexpectedly
of a
heart
attack
on
October
23
,
1939
. By the
time
of his
death
, he had
written
almost
ninety
books
.
Most
of his
books
were
Westerns
, but he also
wrote
nine
books
that had a
fishing
theme
.
Grey
also
published
many
short
stories
, a
biography
of
George
Washington
as a
young
man
and
several
stories
for
children
.
