[EAN: 9781846771897], Neubuch, [PU: LEONAUR], FICTION / HISTORICAL, nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 1782-the Ohio River settlementsThe land along the Ohio River is newly settled. Indomitable men and women-Col. Zane and his family, the McCollochs, Wetzel, the 'Death Wind' Indian killer, among them-have hewn a life out of the frontier wilderness, building homesteads and farms around the stockade and blockhouse of Fort Henry. All about them is the seemingly impenetrable forest, haunt of white renegades and hostile Indian tribes-the Wyandots, Shawnees and Delawares. Soon the Americans will face new dangers. The British oppose the birth of an emergent nation and will stop at nothing-including harnessing the savagery of their Indian allies-to destroy it. This is a story of the deep woods, of abduction, escape and rescue, of the torture stake, of single combat, siege and bloody battle. The Ohio River Trilogy-a monumental chronicle of colonial pioneers in the spirit of Drums Along the Mohawk and The Last of the Mohicans.Volume 2 The Spirit of the Border and volume 3 The Last Trail are available in Leonaur editions now!, Books<

After the success of Zane Grey's first novel, Betty Zane, first published in 1903, Grey gave up his dental practice in New York City to concentrate on writing the westerns that would make him as rich and famous as a movie star. But ancestral pride, not money, was the impetus for Betty Zane. It was based on family stories about his great-grandfather, Colonel Ebenezer Zane, who had defended Fort Henry during the American Revolution. West Virginians remember that the colonel's young daughter, Betty, saved the fort during a British-Indian onslaught in 1782-the last battle of the Revolutionary War. Her act of courage gives focus to this rousing novel, replete with other historical figures like the ferocious Lewis Wetzel, the notorious renegade Simon Girty, and the Seneca chief Cornplanter. Betty Zane, the headstrong heroine, moves in an authentic atmosphere of danger and romance. Introducing this Authorized Edition is Loren Grey, a well-known psychologist and writer and the son of Zane Grey. Trade Books>Hardcover>Fiction>Fiction>Fiction, Oakpast Core >2<
