One of the best books I have ever set eyes on!

Betty Zane is an outstanding book! It is really good and based on real events that took place. Betty Zane is the story of the real Betty Zane but in fiction form. It takes place in the beautiful Fort Henry area which is now Whelling, West Virginia, and is still gourgous...

    Great for those who love histrolical fiction!

    I'm 13 ,but I love histrolical fiction, I found that there are a few miss spellings. Such as they said beer when they meant been. W ere when they meant were. And bar when they meant bear, to name a few. But it's only once every other page ,and nothing you can't tell what they mean it to be. Over all a lovely book ,and wonderfully writien!

    Good read

    Good story, this particular copy was free and there were many typo's, had to guess what some of the words were. Probably the for sale copy has all that corrected. The book seems to historically accurate. Anyway enjoyed reading it.

    Reading this will tell you why Zane Grey was so well respected as a writer and teller of tales of the West. Excellent read.

    Dont get it!

    It really was hard to read. I couldnt even get into the story because every other word was a major typo. I do not recomend this version, it is very poor quality.

    How unfotunate

    My grandfather was an avid reader of Zane Grey's novels, so I was looking forward to the woman's perspective in this book. But the nook version is horrible. There are so many unusual punctuation, wrong letters, numbers, and symbols in the copy that it's very, very difficult to read. The constant translating exhausted me before I even reached the end of the first chapter. So sorry, but had to give up.

    Zane Grey's best book

    This book is a fun, light read. It is romantic, exciting, and novel (in its own way). I think that you will enjoy it if that is what you're looking for. You will not enjoy it if you expect literary genius. Grey puts out a great romp!

    An interesting history of the Revolutionary era in the Ohio River Valley. Grey builds his story around the way in which his ancestor Betty Zane saved the fort from an Indian attack. This is the first of three novels set in Ohio River Valley. An account portrayal of life on the early frontier that will appeal to young adult and adult readers.
