Born in 1872 Zane Grey was an author, who was especially noted for many western novels. Like Ernest Hemingway he was also an avid outdoorsman, however Grey seemed to be more of a sportsman and naturalist.
Grey’s memoir tells of 3 distinct fishing and wildlife adventures. In the first segment the author fishes for marlin in the Gulf Stream off Florida. He regards the pristine dark blue stream as a southern ocean river. The second pertains to fly fishing rivers within the Everglades, while the third portion describes his wildlife adventure along an uncharted Mexican river. The book published in 1924 complete with numerous photos serves as a time capsule.
