Typical work by ZG: clean, entertaining, interesting, and educational. Always a good reading experience. And narration is always clear and well done. Second reading or third… who knows?!đŸ˜‹ ( )

In keeping with his time, Zane Grey romantisizes the story, but he nevertheless presents a great tribute to the men and women who gave so much in the first wave of westward expansion. The man is a great descriptive writer. ( )

Historical fiction about pioneer's in the Ohio valley during the late 1700's. This one is more grounded using actual characters of the Ohio frontier, including Lewis Wetzel and Sam Brady. ( )

Dedication
First words
The author does not intend to apologize for what many readers may call the "brutality" of the story; but rather to explain that its wild spirit is true to the life of the Western border as it was known only a little more than one hundred years ago.
