- Betty Zane
1
For his first novel, Zane Grey looked back at the extraordinary life of his ancestor Betty Zane—a heroine of the American Revolutionary War. Betty Zane lived her life on the frontier. Her family founded the settlement of Wheeler in West Virginia, which came under attack from British and Native American forces in 1782. With gunpowder running low, all hope looked lost. What happened next would secure Betty's place in the history books. An easy and pacy read, "Betty Zane" is a great portrait of the early pioneer days. And Betty makes for a spirited main character. If the "Outlander" books have peaked your interest in the American Revolution, give this novel a shot. -
- The Spirit of the Border
2
The Ohio Frontier of the late 1700s. It's where two worlds met; native Americans to the west, white settlers to the east. Into this unpredictable region come brothers Jim and Joe Downs. One of them aims to spread the word of God, the other has his heart set on violence. "The Spirit of the Border" traces their two journeys, which take in missionaries, kidnappers and militias. The story builds to one of the period's most shameful events.Based on the experiences of his own ancestors, Zane Grey's novel is a propulsive and stark portrait of the Western Expansion. It's the second part of his "Ohio River Trilogy", which begins with "Betty Zane" and ends with "The Last Trail". -
- The Last Trail
3
The US frontier was a lawless place. Self-appointed 'border-men' helped keep the peace. Battle-scarred and solitary, they tended to shoot first and ask questions later. One such man is Lewis Wetzel. He's resigned himself to his grim lifestyle until the beautiful Helen catches his eye. For the first time, Lewis imagines himself settling down. But then Helen is kidnapped by a band of Native American warriors. So Lewis saddles up and heads out on a rescue mission, knowing the chances he'll make it back alive are slim at best. The final book in "Ohio River Trilogy", "The Last Trail" is set in the final years of the 18th century. An exciting Western adventure with dashes of romance, it never shies away from the harsh realities of pioneer life. -
Zane Grey
American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.
