Zane Grey, writer of popular adventure stories about the American West, was born Pearl Zane Gray in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1872, to Lewis M. Gray, a dentist, and Josephine Zane Gray. Changing his name to Zane Grey in early adulthood, he trained in dentistry and had a practice in New York City before turning to writing full time. Grey lived the adventurous life he wrote about, spending months of each year camping in the Arizona desert or fishing off Tahiti and Australia.

Autograph letter, signed, from Zane Grey to his wife Lina Elise "Dolly" Grey regarding his life in Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California. Grey discusses the coast of Avalon, fishing for swordfish, and his longing for his wife and family.
