THE LAST TRAIL

“With anxiety, Mr Sheppard, his nephew, and daughter set up camp in the
gathering darkness.
They were trying to reach Fort Henry before nightfall but lost their way in
the shades of the forest. Their guide had mysteriously deserted them that
morning. Suddenly, a band of Indians appeared at the edge of the firelight
brandishing tomahawks. As quickly as they appeared, they disappeared.
Moments later, a man clad in fringed buckskins silently slipped into the light
of the campfire, and in the dim background of the firelight, stood another;
waiting and watching. They were Jonathan Zane and Wetzel, the most feared
Indian fighters on the border.” A genuine and vivid chronicle of frontier days
along the Ohio River when a cocked rifle and a soft step were the surest means  of survival.
