“Gloriana’s father was Blaze Frazer, owner of a horse ranch near the ‘Solemncholy desert.’ Frazer’s delicate and refined wife had mysteriously disappeared some years before the story opens. Frazer receives a penciled letter post-marked Nogales, Mexico, telling him that there is a woman there who ‘sometime cry for Blaze and Glory and says her name is Frazer.’ The writer further requests Frazer to come for the woman and bring with him $5,000 gold for ‘expenses.’ Frazer raises the money and starts for Mexico in the hope of finding his wife; before leaving he leases the ranch to one Timothy Rudd and arranges for the girl to live with a friend during his absence. Gloriana, however, decides otherwise; Rudd was a bad character and, refusing to recognize the validity of the lease, she assumes charge of the ranch herself. The exciting incidents which followed her decision furnish the theme of this story. In the end Gloriana is in her mother’s arms and a prospective husband is hovering near by.”—N Y Times

“When you read ‘Glory rides the range’ you feel that Ethel and James Dorrance must have had a ‘bully good time’ writing it, so enthusiastically and blithely does it gallop from one thrilling situation to another.” E. M. Brown
