Today, January 31st, 2022, is the celebration of Zane Grey’s 150th Birthday (1/31/1872). We recognize this day and also recognize the many contributions Zane Grey made to the American literature scene including the recognition by the US Library of Congress in designating his novel, Riders of the Purple Sage, as one of the 100 Most Influential Books of the 20th Century.
