Sammy Gregg had been born and raised in Brooklyn. He had worked hard but hadn't been able to save enough money to marry Susie Mitchell, his girlfriend since childhood. Greg believed he needed $15,000, and he gave himself six months in which to do it in the West. Although he was a small man with a frail physique who knew nothing of fighting, of guns, of horses, he did have incredible determination. So taking the $5,000 he had saved, he headed into the West, arriving in Munson, a tough lawless town, and arriving the same day as Chester Ormonde Furness, another greenhorn, but one with a difference. Gregg was calculating enough to find a chance in Munson to achieve his objective, even though it would mean going up against Furness who proceeded to carve a niche for himself as a thief and road agent.

Big John McTavish has been hunting and trading among the métis buffalo hunters of the Red River Valley for more than thirty years. He's a trusted member of the half-breed nation, and a leader of the mixed-bloods' twice-yearly buffalo hunts. But when he returns to the settlements in the autumn of 1832 with a mountain man he's rescued from a Chippewa war party, he has no way of knowing the chain of events the outsider is about to unleash on the unsuspecting hunters. Or the kind of destruction that will follow them onto the buffalo ranges that border the lonely Missouri River. Before the hunters return to their homes along the Red River, Big John will learn the macabre secret that has brought the trapper from the far reaches of the Rocky Mountains. He will discover a daughter he thought he'd lost forever, and relive the horror that took her away. And the métis will will discover that if they are to survive as an independent nation, they must forever free themselves of the influence not only of the powerful Hudson Bay Company, but of the man they have viewed as their friend for more than a quarter of a century. "Beneath A Hunter's Moon" is a novel of honor and treason, love and betrayal, but mostly it is a story about a proud and wonderful People -- the métis of the Red River Valley of the North.

The Restored Edition This splendid, powerful, classic novel was written in 1911, but for over ninety years it has existed only in a profoundly censored version, one that undermined the truth of the characters and the integrity of Zane Grey's masterpiece. With a text based on Zane Grey's handwritten manuscript, the real Riders of the Purple Sage can be read at last as the author wrote it! 109 films have been based on Zane Grey's work, a record not yet equaled by any other author.
