When the "Wind of Death" blows through the forest an Indian will die! Fort Henry still stands as a bastion for the settlers on the frontier along the Ohio River. More pioneers are now moving west to carve new lives out of the wilderness. Among them-the Wells sisters and the Downs brothers-are seized by the zeal to create a kingdom of peace for white man and Indian alike. Some fired the spirit of adventure in an untamed land. Lewis Wetzel, the Death Wind, still patrols the forest seeking hostile enemies-the warriors of fierce tribes, but also, now, the Girty brothers and their gang of white renegades are his quarry. This is an adventure of massacre, abduction, murder and battle on the early frontiers of an emergent America. Those who enjoyed The Northwest Passage and Drums Along the Mohawk will find much to satisfy them in these pages. Volume 1 Betty Zane and volume 3 The Last Trail are available in Leonaur editions now!
Zane Grey
Born Pearl Zane Gray in Zanesville, Ohio, Zane Grey is noted for his careful research and accurate portrayal of the American West. Though Grey trained as a dentist, he turned to writing as a career in 1904, when his first book was published. He went on to write more than 50 novels, most of them tales of adventure with a Western setting, including The Last of the Plainsmen (1908), Riders of the Purple Sage (1912), The Thundering Herd (1925), Code of the West (1934), and West of the Pecos (1937). His nonfiction works include Tales of Fishing (1925). Many of Grey's novels continue to be extremely popular, and several have been adapted into motion pictures.
