Description:
We are currently reading “Riders of the Purple Sage” by Zane Grey
Jane Withersteen is a good Mormon woman trying to make a difference in her small community of Cottonwoods, Utah. She battles to overcome her persecution by members of her Mormon fundamentalist church, a leader of which, Elder Tull, wants to marry her for her vast inheritance. Enter Lassiter, a gentle-voiced, sad-faced gunslinger looking for answers to a long-ago past.
This book was written in 1912 and is considered the father of the western genre. It features gunslingers, cattle-rustlers and beautiful descriptions of the Southern Utah area.
You are invited to attend the informal discussion. We often assemble in 1900 – 1920 period clothing. We meet over tea and often talk over other topics as well. All are welcome to attend.
Schedule:
November 2: Chapters 22, 23 and wrap-up
