Just found an interesting website–Zane Grey’s West Society. The purpose of this organization “is to promote interest in knowledge of the eminent American author, Zane Grey and his works; to revive interest in the writings of Zane Grey and preserve the sites of his writings so that future generations may realize the contributions made by Zane Grey toward the development of the adventure story in American literature.”
Zane Grey pulled much of his story materials from his time fishing and exploring Oregon’s wild & scenic Rogue River. His cabin still exists along the banks of the Rogue River.
Through the efforts of many organizations and individuals, Grey’s cabin where he penned many of his most famous novels can be viewed by Rogue River rafters, hikers and kayakers today. The hose that you see running down the side of the cabin is there to protect the cabin from the Rogue River canyon summer’s heat.
