Betty Zane

Beautiful and headstrong, Betty Zane has made a place for herself in the newly-settled territory of the Ohio Valley. When the delicate balance of her life on the frontier is interrupted by the arrival of Alfred Clarke-a dashing young frontiersman for whom honour comes before his own romantic interests-and by a sudden, violent attack on their settlement, Betty must fight to protect everyone she loves.
American author Zane Grey's first novel, Betty Zane is based on the life of Grey's ancestor, who was among the first settlers on the Ohio frontier.
