George Washington, Frontiersman (Ohio Frontier)

In this the "last" novel by the greatest of the Western authors, Zane Grey pay homage to the area of the country which began his long career as a writer--the Ohio River Valley, which includes Pennsyvania, Kentucky, Ohio and all of the "border" country arround the Allegany Mountains. Yes, this book has all of the historical data in all of its correctness, and yes, at times the book is slow because of this; but who is to say that this book is not one a person should not own to complete a collection of Zane Grey's works? Indeed, 50 plus years had elapsed between creation and publication, and maybe there is some doubt as to who really penned some of the words--ZG or an editor--but that happens with every book published. George Washington, Frontiersman is a well-crafted book, with real historical characters, acting out in real situations what happened in the years just prior to the American Revolution, and if you want to know the historical George Washington that is rarely, if ever, told in history classes, you need to get this book and read it.
