Típica novela del oeste que fue, viendo cómo siguieron los acontecimientos, precursora de mi pasión lectora de los dos siguientes años, en los que leí unas 400 novelitas del oeste con auténtica fruición, viernes tras viernes. Un vaquero persigue durante días a un potro alazán de espléndida factura y en la lucha final entre ambos quedan los dos afectados, siendo casualmente descubiertos por la hija de un rico ranchero, hija que a continuación se enamorará del vaquero y montará al caballo ganando una importante carrera local. A partir de ahí empiezan a pasar más cosas, pero siempre dentro del entorno controlado de las novelas del oeste. Entretenida. ( )

Very slow starting to the plot. A lot of wasted words on descriptions. ( )

The one "reveiw extant makes Grey's work here sound like it is trashy and plain. Far from it! The country, charactgers, plot, and wildness exemplify the heighth of Grey's descritive powers. The male lead is a tall, gaunt, quiet, Texan, the role model for the Gary Cooper types that were cast in westerns the first half of the 20th century/ And the wildfire alluded to is the horse, of course, of course, but also could be the nickname of the red=headed, headstrong daughter of the ranchers, the two of which find each other. I'm surpirsed Hollywood hasn't made more of ZG's novels into movies as he follows the action and love themes of that town and always leaves us with a happy ending. ( )

A dime store-paperback adventure about a horse race. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
For some reason the desert scene before Lucy Bostil awoke varying emotions—a sweet gratitude for the fullness of her life there at the Ford, yet a haunting remorse that she could not be wholly content—a vague loneliness of soul—a thrill and a fear for the strangely calling future, glorious, unknown.
