Zane Grey
Zane Gray had a hut on the Robber, and his affection and passion for this epic river make her the main theme of the book.It is the best writing about the Rogue that has been done before or since and poetically and descriptively traces the river from its birth below Crater Lake to its dispersal into the Pacific and then picks up a school of salmon and takes them all the way back up the river to spawn. Environmental organizations attempting to save Northwest salmon should be handing Rogue River Feud to anyone who will take a copy.

There are several excerpts from Conrads beautiful memories. At that time, slavery was the basis of the Caribbean economy, and the hero for some time is the head of the slave-owning plantation.

When he discovered that Bill was desperately searching for a girl whose name he didnt know, Ronicys interest was captured. Helping him track the girl down was no real challenge for Ronicky, but rescuing her from the evil New Yorker who held her prisoners might be another matter.
