After the American Revolution, Jonathan Zane became a celebrated scout on the frontier. His adventurous spirit and love of the wild led him to Fort Henry, scene of countless Indian attacks. Farmers had been murdered, women abducted, cabins burned. Zane teamed with legendary scout Lewis Wetzel to mete out justice to Indians and outlaws, and settlers began to enjoy the lush Ohio Valley in peace.
But one pioneer hoped to end Zane’s career as a tireless protector. Spirited and beguiling Betty Sheppard begged him to give up his lonely border-man existence. Duty commanded, however, that he resist all such charms. Zane could have only one sweetheart: the North Star. Then came the day that outlaws captured Betty.

"I read a lot of Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour when I was in my early teens, thanks to my dad. 'The Last Trail' is my favorite Zane Grey. I did try to read it again as an adult a couple of years ago and it didn't hold quite the same charm, which made me a little sad. I still love them, though. " — Bee (4 out of 5 stars)

" i love historical fiction in almost any form. Betty Zane is the true story of one of Zane Grey's great, great, (something) grandmothers who settled the wilderness back in the 1600s. The writing is dated, but still a good story. "
" Not a typical book for me but really good. Taken place back when settlers were just moving west to Ohio. Book encompasses what life was like back then, encounters with Indian tribes and even a little romance included. "
" Got it free on the kindle and was very surprised. It is a great book. Anyone will like this one. Not just a western lover. "
" not a book i would usawally read but im really glad i did : ) "
" In this typical western, the good guy gets the bad guys and wins the girl. Enough said! "

" Hey, this is a well written western. There is romance, danger, and a happy ending. It is set around Fort Pit, and involves woodsmen rather than cowboys. If you like the mountain man theme, you'll enjoy this one. I sure did. "
" Entertaining -- for the coboys-and-Indians genre I was pleased at his writing. Old fashioned yes, romance very proper, excellent "wild west" descriptions. "
" This book concludes the trilogy that began with Betty Zane, followed by The Spirit of the border. A spirited and captivating story of pioneer life on the U.S. borderland (Wheeling, West Viginiia - from a time that predates the creation of WV). Very good descriptions on the wilderness. "
" If you ever want to make sure you have a GREAT book to listen to on a long drive you'll never go wrong with a Zane Grey book. Everyone in the car will get caught up in the action and romance. This was another fun book to listen to while performing mundane tasks at work. "
" Owned by my mother when she was a girl in the early 1940s! "
" This novel by Zane Grey is not a Western, but is post-Revolutionary War and focuses on the white settlers seeking to clear out the Ohio Valley of maurading Indians and outlaws which plagued the settlements on the new frontier. Interesting. Grey held my attention with this work. "
" A different setting than most of Zane Grey's westerns. This is Ohio at the time it was considered the West. Predictable and slow, but it's a nice break from contemporary fiction. "
" It hasn't aged very well in its views on native peoples. Interesting though that West Virginia was the west to be won. I think we forget that. "
