About this ebook
Two brothers choose different paths in the Ohio wilderness in this epic, classic Western inspired by history and written by an American icon.
They Came From A Settled Land—To A Place Of Beauty, Blood And War…
Jim and Joe Downs came from Virginia—one led by the call of God, the other by a thirst for adventure. In the Ohio River Valley, the handsome young preacher and his rogue and charming brother entered a storm of Indian wars, white men's treachery, and into the wilderness of a legendary fighter whose enemies knew him as the “Deathwind…”
In this classic novel by America's greatest Western writer, the true life and times of Lewis Wetzel—a character every bit as towering as Daniel Boone—is set against the extraordinary saga of Jim and Joe Downs. As the two brothers make very different choices, as one woman loves them both, they will both learn, win and lose in the presence of a man larger than life—fighting a war all his own...
Second in the Frontier Trilogy!

About the author
Born Pearl Zane Gray in Zanesville, Ohio, Zane Grey is noted for his careful research and accurate portrayal of the American West. Though Grey trained as a dentist, he turned to writing as a career in 1904, when his first book was published. He went on to write more than 50 novels, most of them tales of adventure with a Western setting, including The Last of the Plainsmen (1908), Riders of the Purple Sage (1912), The Thundering Herd (1925), Code of the West (1934), and West of the Pecos (1937). His nonfiction works include Tales of Fishing (1925). Many of Grey's novels continue to be extremely popular, and several have been adapted into motion pictures.
