What makes this book signficant is the fact it contains two of the most famous of Zane Grey's short stories--The Secret of Quaking Asp Cabin, other wise known as The Mystery of Quaking Asp Cabin and Blue Feather, the Indian story he learned after many years from the wife of a trading post owner on the Navajo Reservation. These two stories make this collection worth having. Two of the other three stories were printed in magazines in the early years of ZG's career, the last is being published for the first time--The Flight of Fargo Jones. It was paired with The Saga of the IceCream Cone Kid in a rare Big Little Book, Zane Grey's Cowboys of the West. But all in all this is a book worth owning if you like Zane Grey any at all, and if you have never read one of his novels, the first two I mentioned should be enough to get you to buy. I should also add, The Secret of Quaking Asp Cabin is based on true facts ZG learned, so it is not something he "made up". Afterall, truth is stranger than fiction and the basis for most, if not all, of his greatest works come from people he met or places he had been as he searched out the lonely trails and isolated vistas of America.
