The Last Trail
Zane Grey
Read by John W. Michaels
Return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear as Mike Vendetti narrates this early Zane Grey novel of hardy pioneers taming the wild west. Yes, despite the difficult times, romance flourishes and the bad guys are eliminated almost single handedly as our heroes Jonathan Zane and his sidekick Lew “Deathwind” Wetzel fight their way through mud, blood, gore, savage Indians, and despicable outlaws, to make the land safe for pioneer families as they settle the wild west. Summary by Mike Vendetti. (7 hr 58 min)

The Last Trail

Interesting and exciting story well read. It was a bit frustrating to have to reach for the volume control each time the narrator was using a woman's "voice", he would significantly drop the volume of his voice. Other than that, the narrator was outstanding! It truly intensify the pleasure of such a GOOD story.
many thanks...

My thanks to Mike Vendetti for bringing Zane Grey’s words to life with. His voice and tone lent such passion to those words and was eminently “ listenable”.

Good reader although errors in a number of words... Amazing how beautifully Zane describes the terrain... His years in Arizona are a testament to his observations... Seems to understand human nature in this story... Simple clasp of hands between men, for example. It is a story of the west...half romance half searching for rustlers... Would have liked a more compromising ending for the border man

We don't often remember the days when an area so close to the Eastern Seaboard was "wild wilderness " with Indian trouble. It's very different from Western tales we hear, and a reminder there are many tales & many views waiting to be heard. Well done.
Great!

Great book about frontier America in the days when men were men and women were women. Most excellent reader with a superb voice (except for about a five or ten minute stretch when it sounded like he was trying to "emote"!).

this book is awesome. I have found only a handful more that r as good. a few by z.grey such as riders of the. purple sage, spirit. of the. boarder, and by max brand the trilogy of whistling. Dan Barry is great.

While the story itself is excellent in its general content it is unfortunately ripe with with racism, no doubt a product of it’s time. Some caution and discussions may be advisable if listen with younger people.
