  • "Zane Grey (January 31, 1872 - October 23, 1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories that presented an idealized image of the American frontier, including the novel Riders of the Purple Sage, his bes selling book. This is one of his stories."@en
  • "Spirit of the Border is the second in Zane Grey's Ohio River Valley trilogy. The protagonist, frontier Indian fighter Lew Wetzel, and his opponent, border renegade Jim Girty, were historical figures who in 1777 clashed in the wilds of the western Virginia border. Wetzel takes as his partner Jonathan Zane, brother of Colonel Ebenezer Zane and Betty Zane, the heroine of the battle of Fort Henry. Together, Wetzel and Zane pursue a relentless war of attrition against Wyandotte, Shawnee, and Seneca Indians. Colonel Zane is opposed to them in his feeling that settlers and Indian fighters alike little know "the proud independence, the wisdom, the stainless chastity of honor" true of many members of the Indian nations."

  • "West of Fort Henry, in the wild and lawless country, the tribes are massing for an attack that will destroy the isolated white settlements. Settlers are doomed unless a few grizzled veterans of the Indian Wars can turn back the angry natives. One veteran is a man of legend and mystery: Wetzel rides through a borderland crawling with outlaws and savages, vowing to rid the frontier of its ruthless predators and to make the territory safe for the bold pioneers of the American West."@en
  • "Though Zane Grey is often associated with novels about the American West, many of his early works are historical fiction centered on the Ohio Valley towns where Grey himself grew up. The Spirit of the Border is a sequel to the earlier novel Betty Zane. The book offers a fictionalized account of the exploits of Lew Wetzel, a pioneering figure who fought for the protection of early settlements in the Midwest."@en

  • "The great Western author launched his writing career with thrilling tales of his Revolution-era ancestors. This adventure-romance, based on the semi-legendary exploits of a pioneer named Lew Wetzel, follows Christian missionaries into the Ohio Valley. Bloodshed and inner strength are the only way to get through what Wetzel faces here."
