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!
Autorenporträt
Pearl Zane Grey was an American author and dentist known for his novels and stories. He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He was the fourth son born to Alice "Allie" Josephine Zane and Lewis M. Gray. His mother was a Quaker immigrant whose forefather Robert Zane came to the American colonies in 1673. His father was a dentist. Grey studied dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his graduation in 1896. He got married to Lina Roth also known as Dolly in 1905. He had anger issues, depression and suffered mood swings which affected his life. And so, Grey spent most of his time away from the family, while Dolly managed his career and raised their three children. Their family moved to California in 1918 and settled in Altadena, California in 1920 in a home they named as Zane Grey Estate. Grey continued writing during 1930s and was in great depression. From 1925 to his death in 1939 he travelled away from his family exploring the unspoiled lands, particularly the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. He died on October 23, 1939, aged 67 at his home in Altadena, California due to heart attack.
