At sunset hour the forest was still, lonely, sweet with tang of fir and spruce, blazing in gold and red and green; and the man who glided on under the great trees seemed to blend with the colors and, disappearing, to have become a part of the wild woodland. Old Baldy, highest of the White Mountains, stood up round and bare, rimmed bright gold in the last glow of the setting sun. Then, as the fire dropped behind the domed peak, a change, a cold and darkening blight, passed down the black spear-pointed slopes over all that mountain world. It was a wild, richly timbered, and abundantly watered region of dark forests and grassy parks, ten thousand feet above sea-level, isolated on all sides by the southern Arizona desert — the virgin home of elk and deer, of bear and lion, of wolf and fox, and the birthplace as well as the hiding-place of the fierce Apache. September in that latitude was marked by the sudden cool night breeze following shortly after sundown. Twilight appeared to come on its wings, as did faint sounds, not distinguishable before in the stillness. Milt Dale, man of the forest, halted at the edge of a timbered ridge, to listen and to watch.

Milt Dale, once a cowboy, prefers the solitary life of a hunter in the forested mountains of Arizona. One day while taking refuge from a storm in an abandoned hut he overhears the devious plot between Snake Anson and local landowner, Beasley, to kidnap a rival's young niece who is traveling to the aid of her dying uncle. Unable to warn the unsuspecting landowner, Auchincloss, of the nefarious plot, Dale is nobly drawn from the forest to rescue the young girl and prevent the outlaws from stealing her uncle's ranch. "The Man of the Forest" is a classic western rich with the vivid depictions of the Old West that have become the trademark of legendary author of the genre Zane Grey.
