One bright morning in June 1769, Colonel Ebenezer Zane stood on the rugged promontory that rears high above the Ohio River near the mouth of Wheeling Creek, and decided to establish a settlement there. Near that spot in 1775 the settlers that he had persuaded to join him erected Fort Henry as a protection against the Indians. Zane Grey tells the story of these settlers over three books. The story begins with this book, BETTY ZANE, when Fort Henry was about to fall before the combined attack of English and Indians despite the settlers’ gallant defense, Betty Zane proved that she was as brave as her four brothers. At the risk of her life, she carried gunpowder to the forts.
