Dorn of the Mountains, is the novel, The Man of the Forest, by Zane Grey published as he wrote it before the editors got a hold of it. In The Man of the Forest version the lead male character is Milt Dale; here he is Milt Dorn. The reason for the change was this novel was first published in 1918 and angry German sentiment was still running high in the United States because of World War I. Also in this book Zane Grey begins to relate his ideas on ecology, conservation, and the loss of the natural resources; as well as telling us a story about a loner who is uncertain about his own future. Yet, when Helen Rayner appears to be in real trouble, Milt Dorn leaves his solitariness to defend and befriend her; and also to protect her little sister, who have come west to visit relatives, and to escape a past.
Paradise Park located in the White Mountains has been determined to be the actual location of Milt's hideaway, and a man by the name of Jack Funk the model for him.
Here again, Ripley Hitchcock did what he always did. He revised, removed, and added material. Three whole chapters were added to the middle of the book-what became Chapters Ten, Eleven, and Twelve of the Harper edition. In these passages Helen Rayner becomes a different person than she is in Zane Grey's manuscript before and after this section. According to Jon Tuska, who actually penned those chapters may never be known, but they were not part of the original. When the original holographic manuscript was located in the Library of Congress clipped to it in Zane Grey's own handwriting was a note stating, "Original Man of the Forest". I HIGHLY recommend this restored version as it is far superior to the "original".
