Summary

The Spirit of the Border is a gripping tale of violence and adventure in the early days of the United States. Renegades are attacking the people of the Ohio frontier, including a village of missionaries and their converts. These outlaws have no fear of anyone, but they will learn to fear Lewis Wetzel. A one-man militia, he has vowed to rid the border of predators but can he prevent the situation from becoming an all-out war? Zane Grey is best known for his westerns, but he is also the author of several historical novels. Set in the 1770s, The Spirit of the Border is based on real events and people, including some of Greys own ancestors.

Excerpts

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. The writer is the fortunate possessor of historical material of undoubted truth and interest. It is the long-lost journal of Colonel Ebenezer Zane, one of the most prominent of the hunter-pioneer, who labored in the settlement of the Western country. The story of that tragic period deserves a higher place in historical literature than it has thus far been given, and this unquestionably because of a lack of authentic data regarding the conquering of the wilderness. Con-sidering how many years the pioneers struggled on the border of this country, the history of their efforts is meager and obscure
