About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Desert Gold, a Romance of the Border by Zane Grey. Read in English by KirksVoice. A FACE haunted Cameron—a woman's face. It was there in the white heart of the dying campfire; it hung in the shadows that hovered over the flickering light; it drifted in the darkness beyond. This hour, when the day had closed and the lonely desert night set in with its dead silence, was one in which Cameron's mind was thronged with memories of a time long past—of a home back in Peoria, of a woman he had wronged and lost, and loved too late. He was a prospector for gold, a hunter of solitude, a lover of the drear, rock-ribbed infinitude, because he wanted to be alone to remember. - Summary by (Prologue - Zane Grey)
