Zane Grey
On our way to NE Ohio we stopped for 2 nights in Cambridge, Ohio.
Saturday, we took a day trip to Zanesville, Ohio and got a brief history lesson.
The Town of Zanesville is named for Colonel Ebenezer Zane who laid the first road (Zane's trace) in 1796, linking Kentucky to Ohio and points west.
This footpath was replaced in 1827 by the Old National Road. You may know it as Route 40.
We were interested in things that involved his great grandson - Zane Grey, the author and the "Father of the Adult Western"
Below is part of the Bicentennial Legacy Sculpture that sits in downtown Zanesville in an area called Zane's Landing Park. This part of the sculpture shows Zane Grey. He was a western romance writer and wrote 64 + novels. Zane Grey was the originator of the slogan, "Vanishing America."
There is a state college!
There is a road! I want the sign!
Here is his birthplace.
(Now a private residence)
