Publisher's Synopsis
- Zane Grey's Trilogy is bound together in this edition: Betty Zane, Spirit of The Border & The Last Trail.
Elizabeth "Betty" Zane McLaughlin Clark (1765-1823) was a heroine of the Revolutionary War on the American frontier. Her great-grandnephew, the iconic American western writer Zane Grey, penned this trilogy, the first of which is entitled Betty Zane and includes the tale of Zane's fetching supplies from the family cabin.
The Spirit of the Border (1906) is based on events occurring in the Ohio River Valley in the late eighteenth century. It features the exploits of Lewis Wetzel, who dedicated his life to the destruction of Native Americans and to the protection of nascent white settlements in that region. The story deals with the attempt by Moravian Church missionaries to Christianize Indians.
In The Last Trail (1909), the last of the three books, a woman is kidnapped from Fort Henry by a band of renegades and hostile Ohio Valley Indians.
