A rancher must protect his family and his land from a dangerous gang
in this action-packed classic by the greatest author of the American
West. The Lindsay family has come west hoping to help the father,
John, recover from an illness. When they arrive, they are induced to
purchase Spanish Peaks Ranch, an abandoned United States military post
surrounded by mountains. It seems like a perfect place to settle into
their new life as ranchers. As they soon find out, though, this
deserted fort is equally suited for both protection and imprisonment.
In fact, they’ve been swindled into buying the longtime headquarters
and hideout for a band of thieves and rustlers. Almost as soon as they
get to work, the Lindsay family’s peace is disturbed, and their
protected new homestead quickly becomes an isolated outpost as
rustlers begin to harass their herds. John Lindsay discovers there are
spies among his faithful cowboys. Things continue to get worse until
finally their brewing hostilities climax in a nighttime attack,
leading to all-out war and the abduction of one of the Lindsay girls
and elopement of another. John must fight against treason on the
inside and enemies on the outside to keep his family and new life
safe. First published in 1938, the greatest writer of the American
West, Zane Grey, brings a classic tale of drama on the
frontier. Raiders of Spanish Peaks is a thrilling tale of a how a
man’s home is truly his castle. “A great writer, rich in
invention, prodigal with his action, juicily romantic.” —The New
Yorker
