Books like Wild Horse Mesa

For those (like myself) who enjoy writers like Bret Harte or Zane Grey who engage in long, leisurely descriptions and asides, this is a good historical piece. It includes some period-appropriate racist behaviors and remarks, as well as a few errors such as confusing mules with donkeys. The publisher blurb fails to say that this is an "updated" version of Grey's well-known novel, Wild Horse Mesa, first published in 1928. The original spelled the stallion's name as "Panquitch." Be aware that this is mainly a Western romance, and the wild stallion makes a minor appearance near the end.I listened to the Blackstone Audio version, which is very well produced and pleasant. I had expected a previously unread by me Zane Grey story, but quickly realized that it was familiar. It took me a while to figure out that the book was actually Wild Horse Mesa, which I first read as a teen some 50 years ago.
