The Ohio River Trilogy 3: The Last Trail

by Zane Grey

Overview

Life remains hazardous for the pioneers of the Ohio River settlements. Colonel Zane and Jonathan Zane with Lewis Wetzel-the Death Wind-maintain their vigilance and tenuous dominance over Fort Henry and the surrounding wilderness of the great forest. Still the savage Indians of the deep woods remain a constant danger-as do the white renegade bands who live among them. If these threats were not test enough a new danger has arisen and the blockhouse walls may not be enough to protect the pioneers. There is a traitor among them who puts them all at risk. This final volume of Zane Grey's Ohio River Trilogy is a gripping finale to a great series-another thrilling story of life and death on the early American frontier and a classic in the tradition of Drums Along the Mohawk. Volume 1 Betty Zane and volume 2 The Spirit of the Border are available in Leonaur editions now!

Editorial Reviews

YAHelen Sheppard and her father left Williamsburg, VA, to start a new life in the Ohio Valley. Her father's friend, Col. Ebenezer Zane, met them at Fort Henry after a terrifying close encounter with Indians that ended peacefully when two bordermen, Jonathan Zane and Lew Wetzel, stepped out of the forest to rescue them. Helen is intrigued by Jonathan Zane and he with her. As the story unfolds, this love affair mingles with the tale of the early days of the Ohio Valley. Indian resentment against the encroaching white men, an obsessive lover, horse rustlers, and plain folks trying to build homesteads out of the wilderness are brought to life by Grey's fine storytelling skills. This is a reprint of the last volume of the author's "Ohio River Trilogy," published in 1909; however, the book stands alone. An interesting foreword written by Grey's son, Loren, tells much about the writer. A good story that would make great historical fiction reading for an American-history assignment.Linda A.
