Summary

The American frontier in the 1700s produced some men of utter ruthlessness, and Jim Girty was one of the worst. Living among the Delaware Indians in the Ohio Valley, Girty and his brothers incited acts of savagery and war against the white settlers.

One of Jim Girty's targets was the Village of Peace, a settlement of Christian Indians who had been converted by Moravian missionaries. Girty and his ruffians, playing on the fear and hostility of surrounding tribes, incited them to gather at the village, where they threw the ominous war club on the ground.

Lewis Wetzel, a lonely, taciturn hunter whose family had been the victim of Delaware atrocities, swore revenge on Girty. The intrepid Wetzel, called "Deathwind" by the Delawares, had saved Fort Henry from Indian attack, but was he any match for the odious Girty?
Westward ho! Don't miss more from Zane Grey.

A wonderfully read account of a time way back in America’s history

Almost nothing in this novel brings credit on 19th century America.
Prejudice, racial language, violence by the whites, violence by First Americans, racial thoughtlessness as whites try to convert First Nation Americans to Christianity, nothing brings anyone any credit.
Some love at the end but it comes too late.
No wonder the U S is as it is.
