| Zane Grey wrote 89 books, and over 100 films
were made based on his novels. In 1924, a film crew came
to Catalina Island to do a movie version of one of Grey's
books, The Vanishing American. They brought 14 head of
American bison for the filming. When the movie wrapped,
the crew left the buffalo behind. Today, a herd of about
150 buffalo roam freely in Catalina Island's interior. |
