1782-the Ohio River settlements The 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!
