Features an extended biography of the life and experiences of Pearl Zane Grey
Zane Grey takes the reader on a voyage through rivers, forests, valleys, cliffs and mountains of wild Ohio in the final book of the Ohio River Trilogy. It is a beautiful and hostile landscape. The border patrol Jonathan Zane and Lewis Wetzel protect the white pioneer settlers from marauding Indians and renegade settlers who keep attacking sporadically.
The lovely Betty Sheppard, a settler, takes a love interest in Jonathan, and he starts to think about a future far from his dangerous job. When Betty is kidnapped at Fort Henry, his decision is made for him as he saddles up to ride in hot pursuit.
"The little villain deserved killing. I could have shot him with pleasure."
Somehow romance is still nurtured, justice tries to prevail, and the future looks promising. The stakes are high. Will Jonathan get to Betty in time? And will Ohio ever be safe?

Person
Pearl Zane Grey was an American author and dentist known for his novels and stories. He was born on January 31, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. He was the fourth son born to Alice "Allie" Josephine Zane and Lewis M. Gray. His mother was a Quaker immigrant whose forefather Robert Zane came to the American colonies in 1673. His father was a dentist. Grey studied dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his graduation in 1896. He got married to Lina Roth also known as Dolly in 1905. He had anger issues, depression and suffered mood swings which affected his life. And so, Grey spent most of his time away from the family, while Dolly managed his career and raised their three children. Their family moved to California in 1918 and settled in Altadena, California in 1920 in a home they named as Zane Grey Estate. Grey continued writing during 1930s and was in great depression. From 1925 to his death in 1939 he travelled away from his family exploring the unspoiled lands, particularly the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia. He died on October 23, 1939, aged 67 at his home in Altadena, California due to heart attack.
