"The birth of his first child restored his sense of urgency to produce
his next novel and his first Western, The Heritage of the Desert, which
he completed in four months, and which became a bestseller. It propelled
a career writing popular novels about manifest destiny and the "conquest
of the Wild West." Two years later he produced his best-known book,
Riders of the Purple Sage (1912)."
