Publisher Description

As the Revolutionary War draws to an end, the violence on the frontier only accelerates. The infamous Girty brothers incite Indians to a number of massacres, but when the Village of Peace, a Christian utopian settlement, is destroyed, the settlers know they will have to hunt Chief Wingenund down. Lewis Wetzel, known to the Indians as the Death Wind, undertakes this mission of revenge. The stakes increase when he learns of a planned attack on Fort Henry. Armed with only his long rifle and knife, Wetzel sets out to single-handedly turn the tide in this bloody border war.

    " I've read many of Zane Grey's books and liked all of them except this one. The dialogue was so bad I could barely get through it. Wasted a couple of hours I wish I could get back. "

    " LOVE this Trilogy! Grew up on it, Wetzel has always been a hero of mine, makes you admire the american-indians and the frontiersmen for all they went through! Zane shows the strength of the settlers, as well as the injustice put upon the indians by many. A MUST READ! "

    " Terrific story, but yikes, misogyny at its best. Good, good Wetzel for killing Indians (unless they're Christians) - bad bad Indians for killing Wetzel and the nice Christian Indians. Nice character assassination of Simon Girty too. "

    " Only my second Zane Grey book. Like the last one I read, it's a fun piece of pulp fiction. I'm surprised how much some of it reminds me of Robert E. Howard's stories of Conan the Barbarian. "

    " I thought this would be a simple teenage-level Western, but it was a much deeper story. A lot of bloodshed, a lot of characters died that you really felt bad about. It was a really sad book; I didn't expect that. But it was based on some true events after all. "
