Great classic western! Subject matter appropriate for ages 12 up.
Description: Tom Doan joins the buffalo hunters going into the Southwest’s inhospitable Staked Plain. Seeing huge herds there, he thinks of getting rich off their hides. He proves efficient as a skinner, and what follows is almost a literal baptism in sweat and blood. Fighting the Comanches and Kiowas, some unscrupulous white hunters, and his own conscience, he ages fast—all the faster in facing obstacles to love’s consummation with Milly. She, like Tom, is in constant danger from every side. Finally, they can be united in mind and body only if he agrees to her one condition.
Amazon.com: The Thundering Herd, originally published in 1925, is Zane Grey’s great lament for the passing of the buffalo. Grounded in the author’s sense of western history, it shows in no uncertain terms how white men were debased by the wanton destruction of the herds.

Edition Notes
This Grosset & Dunlap edition is published by arrangement with Harper & Brothers as indicated on the title page. The color of the cover(not the dust jacket) is green, the same as G&D's, The Vanishing American by the same author. This would indicate that they were both published within months of each other. Other editions had a brown cover.
