Little Hawk, Zane Grey is from my home town, Zanesville, Ohio in southeastern Ohio, a distant relative of Ebineezer Zane, the founder of the city and one of the early Ohio Pioneers. He was a dentist and avid fisherman, which I also share in these avocations. His novel, Spirit of the Border was the first historical novel I ever read and it is set in the surrounding area of southeastern Ohio and West Virginia, which made the reading quite interesting to me when I read it at age 14. His birthplace and a museum are in the Zanesville, Ohio area.
