O tej e-knjigi

Beautiful and headstrong, Betty Zane has made a place for herself in the newly-settled territory of the Ohio Valley. When the delicate balance of her life on the frontier is interrupted by the arrival of Alfred Clarke—a dashing young frontiersman for whom honour comes before his own romantic interests—and by a sudden, violent attack on their settlement, Betty must fight to protect everyone she loves.

American author Zane Grey’s first novel, Betty Zane is based on the life of Grey’s ancestor, who was among the first settlers on the Ohio frontier.

O avtorju

American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.
