From Missouri

In its first appearance with a text based on the author's holographic manuscript, three cowhands working for the Springer Ranch have tried, through forging letters, to discourage a schoolteacher in the East from coming West to teach school. Their strategy has failed because of a mysterious Frank Owens whose love letters have convinced her that she must come. No one knows who he is.

Jane Stacey does arrive, and to everyone's amazement, she is not the middle-aged matron expected but a young and very attractive woman. The Springer ranch hands are put in a quandary, falling over themselves in their desire to impress Jane Stacey and simply because they have had too much to drink. Bill Springer is the only one sober enough to take matters in hand and drive her out to the ranch. However, the lecherous Beady Jones has his own idea of how the new schoolmarm should be introduced to the West.

About the Author

About The Author
Pearl Zane Grey was an American author and dentist known for his novels and stories. He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He was the fourth son born to Alice "Allie" Josephine Zane and Lewis M. Gray. His mother was a Quaker immigrant whose forefather Robert Zane came to the American colonies in 1673. His father was a dentist. Grey studied dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his graduation in 1896. He got married to Lina Roth also known as Dolly in 1905. He had anger issues, depression and suffered mood swings which affected his life. And so, Grey spent most of his time away from the family, while Dolly managed his career and raised their three children. Their family moved to California in 1918 and settled in Altadena, California in 1920 in a home they named as Zane Grey Estate. Grey continued writing during the 1930s and was in a great depression. From 1925 to his death in 1939 he traveled away from his family exploring the unspoiled lands, particularly the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. He died on October 23, 1939, aged 67 at his home in Altadena, California due to heart attack.
