"The Last Trail" by Zane Grey is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in the Ohio valley during the colonial period when settlers faced numerous dangers in the wilderness, including hostile native tribes and treacherous whites. The story revolves around Mr. Sheppard, his daughter Helen, and their nephew as they navigate the challenges posed by their journey to Fort Henry and the alarming threats they encounter along the way. The opening of the book introduces the characters amidst the tense setting of twilight in the Ohio valley, where Mr. Sheppard's party halts their trek as night falls, wary of the treachery from both nature and potential enemies. The guide has abandoned them, stirring unease in the party, especially when they become aware of the lurking dangers as Helen hears footsteps in the darkness. The abrupt arrival of hostile Indians adds to the tension, forcing the travelers into a situation fraught with fear and uncertainty. Ultimately, they are rescued by the famed borderman, Jonathan Zane, who brings with him an air of adventure and a connection to the perilous life of the frontier, setting the stage for the unfolding drama that will intertwine their destinies.
