Wildfire is an amazing book written by Zane Grey. This fantastic book has a story that takes place in Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon is captivating! The main character is a rancher who is so obsessed with his love of delicious horse flesh that he loses control and treats others poorly. His daughter rescues a horse hunter and his mount; she develops a relationship with him and competes against her father's prize mount. Then, as retaliation, her father kidnaps the daughter and holds her hostage for a ransom after he accidentally causes another man to lose his horses by disobeying his requirement to ferry them across the river. Will she ever get rescued by anyone? Although the story was a "black-and-white western," its main themes were truth and ethics. This is a timeless masterpiece thanks to the thrill of superb horsemanship and excellent Western heroes!
