About This Item

Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania, 1922. Very Good. [Zane Grey] Typed Manuscript of The Great Slave by Zane Grey, Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania, N.D., circa 1922, 8.5 x 11 inches, 22 pp.

22 lightly toned pages held together with metal clip; front page embossed with Zane Grey's name in top right corner; edges slightly worn, a few small spots to front; overall very good condition.

Zane Grey (1872-1939) was an American author of Western novels and short stories, best known for his book Riders of the Purple Sage. This unique typed manuscript appears to be a copy of the original, as there are no indents on the versos; however, it has been copyedited by hand in pencil and ink throughout.

This short story, The Great Slave, was published in Grey's 1923 book "Tappan's Burro and Other Stories". The main character is a Crow youth named Siena, who was prophesied to save his starving people. In the story, he and his people are captured and enslaved by their enemies, the Cree; but eventually Siena, using his wits and skill with a rifle, outsmarts the Cree and leads his people to freedom, and is known thereafter as the Great Slave.
