This 1909 novel, set in Ohio, is the sequel to Spirit of the Border (1906) and rounds out the trilogy begun with Betty Zane (1903). It features young Jonathan Zane and his partner, the mysterious woodsman known as La Vent de la Mort—the Wind of Death—and is based on the history of Grey’s ancestors. The men deal with hostile Native Americans, plains famers, and Jonathan’s obsessive new lover.
A propos de l’auteur
Zane Grey (1872-1939) was a prolific and highly influential American writer best known for moralistic adventure stories set in an idealized Old West, many of which were eagerly adapted by Hollywood for the big screen. He wrote to blow off steam after a long day at his New York City dental practice. His most famous novel is Riders of the Purple Sage (1912).
