The frontier in 1777 produced white men so savage as to be men in name only. These outcasts and renegades lived among the savages and perpetrated all manner of fiendish cruelties upon the settlers. And while the border produced such outlaws, so did it produce great hunters such as Wetzel, that strange, silent man whose deeds are whispered in awe by the settlers. He was a frontiersman, protector of the settlers against marauding white men and Indians. To the Indians he was a shadow, a spirit of the border, which breathed menace from the dark forests.

      The full-bodied story of Lewis Wetzel's efforts to bring peace to the Fort Henry area is part of Grey's Ohio River trilogy, based on the adventures of his own great-great-grandmother. Wetzel is also a genuine historical personage. Michael Prichard is an outstanding reader who pumps life and emotion into all the characters. His female voices for Nell and Kate, for example, are low-key and believable. His empathy for them during the violent situations they encounter resonates in his presentation. Prichard's slightly grisly sounding voice is perfectly suited for portraying the many hardy men and women who tamed the wild land of early America. S.C.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
