Reviews
On Apr 12 2020, a reader said:
The Young Lion Hunter is Ken Ward at his best in the Grand Canyon helping capture mountain lions or cougars. This novel is the fictionalized telling of Zane Grey's first visit to the Canyon with Buffalo Jones in 1907 which furnished him with enough material to write his first western, The Heritage of the Desert. Harpers liked ZG's boys' books about Ken Ward, but really did not encourage him in any other fashion, even though he had submitted other books to them and they had resoundedly rejected them. Still, he kept trying because Harpers was THE publishing house. Ken encounters mustangs he must ride, a pack of hounds the likes of which he had never seen before, Native Americans who he comes to appreciate with a new awareness, and landscape so wild and primitive it takes the breath away. A marvelous treatise of how the West still was an hundred years ago. Great book! I have this exact copy, and have had for 30 plus years.
