The Shepherd of Guadaloupe: A Western Story
by Zane GreyA soldier returns home to find his parents displaced and their property stolen in this classic Western. "He leaned propped against the rail of the great ship, in an obscure place aft, shadowed by the life-boats. It was the second night out of Cherbourg and the first time for him to be on deck. The ridged and waved Atlantic, but for its turbulence, looked like the desert undulating away to the uneven horizon.

There was the same mystery in the black hollows of the sea as from boyhood he had seen and feared in the gloomy gulches of the foothills. ” So begins Zane Grey’s The Shepherd of Guadaloupe.
