Riders of the Purple Sage celebrates the frontier experience and mourns it’s passing. As the story opens a wealthy woman rancher in Utah disobeys her church’s elders and begins to lose her stock and workers. Help arrives in the person of Lassiter, a hired gunfighter who routs the persecutors and then reveals his own motivation for taking on the Mormon establishment. Grey used characters like Lassiter to show how powerful men could be, but also how they were able to be changed by women and develop deeper ties to the community without putting their masculinity at risk. At a time when America had lost the frontier, and the country’s ethnic mix was changing, Grey offered an ideal where all could meet as equals, judged only by their willingness to work.
