Zane Grey did a splendid job of describing Western nature in vivid terms. You can feel the heat and hear the roar of a pine forest exploding in fire. Bleak desert-scapes dotted with majestic rock columns and sage feel real.
The bond between riders and horses comes through clearly. Grey's portrayal of the look and feel of riders and horses going about their business and sport shows that he spent some quality time in the saddle.
Grey's exploration of obsession is a defining aspect of this book. One rider's dogged and unrelenting pursuit of a wild horse is contrasted with the lifelong obsession of a deeply flawed leader who succumbs to rash and unforgiveable acts. Does this sound familiar?
Woven into the fabric of the book is the similarity of how a crowd of bystanders can be stampeded into unreasonable action as well as trained, indeed broken, horses can wildly stampede off a cliff. If you have read 'The True Believer' by Eric Hoffer, Grey's subtle comparison is prescient.
I have a corral of Zane Grey books; Wildfire is close to the top of the list.
