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...

The Ohio Valley Trilogy Part Two
Feb 23 2012
By Charles Wheeler
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Spirit of the Border is the second book in the Ohio Valley Triogy composed of Betty Zane, the first book Zane Grey ever wrote, and The Last Trail. All three books detail the life of the Zane family as they carved out a home and community in what was then the frontier, or the 'west'. Historically accurate as to the characters involved, except for the lead hero and heroine, these books are great history about a time and a place few people know about--the years leading up to and just after the American Revolution, and how these early pioneers lived, the conditions they faced, the outlaws they encountered, and the Indians who either made life miserable or who could become your greatest ally in survival. The chapters dealing with the Moravian missiionaries and the settlement the Indians called the Village of Peace and its destruction are worth the price of the book all by themselves. This book is an exellent read.
