A Fictional Telling of a Real Revolutionary War Heroine. 'But what can women do in times of war? They help, they cheer, they inspire, and if their cause is lost, they must accept death or worse. Few women have the courage for self destruction. To the victor belong the spoils, and women have ever been the spoils of war.' Betty Zane was a strong, young frontier woman living in a man's world. In this, Zane Grey's first novel, Betty and her brothers live in Fort Henry, West Virginia, and are key figures in one of the last battles of the Revolutionary War.
