 | Last of the Duanes by Zane Grey When this unforgettable novel was first published--in a much shorter form--in a magazine in 1914, it was a rousing success and was made into a movie four times by 1941. Yet when Zane Grey submitted the full-length manuscript to his book publisher, it was rejected because it contained too much gunplay. And so a masterpiece of Western fiction remained unpublished in book form for more than 80 years. Finally, this powerful tale is available in its entirety in paperback for the first time. Available now. AUTHOR: Zane Grey PUBLISHER: Dorchester Publishing Company, Incorporated FORMAT: Paperback CATEGORY: General
