Rare copy of this edition with pictorial dust jacket. 

Zane Grey's first novel. Based on a true story. Betty Zane was one of the great heroines of the American Revolution. A pioneer who moved west at the end of the 18th century. There the Zanes and others carved out the little settlement of Fort Henry, a last outpost on the American Frontier.

When Indians threatened to attack Fort Henry, the lives of every man, woman, and child were at stake. And everyone would have died when the violence came, if it had not been for Colonel Zane's family--most especially the courage of the legendary Betty Zane.
