Photo of Zane and Romer Grey with Two Bears
photograph, 6 1/2 by 4 5/8 in.
A photo owned by Zane Grey showing him and his son, Romer, with two black bears they hunted. Grey was an avid hunter of all types of game, both in the water and on land. He frequently went on long expeditions throughout the American West, often for several weeks, during which he spent much time hunting. These trips were essential to Grey's writing process, allowing him to personally interact with the environments that showed up in his books. He would be accompanied by family, friends, lovers, guides, chefs, and much equipment. For a 1920 hunting trip in Arizona, Grey brought twenty-one horses, three supply wagons, and over a dozen people.
