Have You Read 
etty Zane? 
If not there is in store for you one of 
the greatest literary treats of your life 
This book deals with the history of the first settlement made 
by white men on the ground where the city of Wheeling, 
W. Va., now stands. The story portrays in a most thrilling 
and effective manner a phase of pioneer life in the Middle 
States 140 years ago, of which too little has been written. 
It describes one of the bloodiest fights of the Revolution and several 
important Indian Wars, throughout which the handful of pioneers, 
who built and defended Fort Henry, exhibited to the world that 
wonderful courage, fortitude, self-reliance and skill in the use of 
the hunting rifle, which delivered the American colonies from the 
thraldom of British rule, under which they had lived 2 centuries. 
Betty Zane 
is destined to become one of the great standard historical novels of 
the day, and no man or woman who is interested in the study of 
the pioneer life of the Middle West, in the history of the Indian 
wars, or in the wonderful feats of the wilderness hunters of 
those days, can afford to forego a careful reading of this book.
