Betty Zane: Ohio: The American Frontier, 1782: In the last battle of the American Revolution, British forces besiege Fort Henry. With the defenders running out of food and ammunition, sixteen-year-old Betty Zane volunteers to retrieve a gunpowder cache hidden outside the fort. Her brazen bravery--she makes the trip in broad daylight--stuns the Americans' enemies and inspires her countrymen to successfully resist the siege. To The Last Man: Arizona: The American Frontier, 1880s: The range wars have been raging in the Tonto Basin for years as cattlemen and sheep ranchers vie for territory. At the heart of the bloody battle are the Isbels--shepherds and ranchers--and the Jorths, who have turned to cattle rustling. Gaston Isbel and Lee Jorth have vowed to destroy each other and their families and allies--to the last man, if need be. Neither man realizes that Isbel's half-Native American son, Jean, and Jorth's only daughter, Ellen, have fallen in love. Can love turn the tide of war, or will both families be annihilated?

The story, Betty Zane, is the first novel he wrote. It is about an ancestor of his who participated in the final battle of the Revolutionary War by saving the fort she was living at. The other book is based on true events which happened in Arizona in the late 1900's; a feud which really happened. So many of the events depicted, actually happened. Both are excellent stories. Zane Grey is the best author there ever was, and ever will be when it comes to descriptive narrative about a land he explored to discover stories.
