Customer Reviews
Good ole book.
Nice story. Brings up interesting Mormon history.
Riders of the Purple Sage
Great read, especially when you have just moved to Arizona. And being originally from Utah, it gives you a more interesting story. Grey is definitely a great story teller. This one irritated the Mormons, but a good story needs a bad guy!!! I’m exploring the northern Arizona and Southern Utah region in my retired years. This story helped make my visits to towns in the region more fun. Frontier men and women were surely tough and lived by a different code than we do today. We should keep more of their ways!
Riders of the Purple Sage
A good read. Plenty of surprises towards the end. Pay attention to what you read. It might mean something later on.
