The Last Trail

The Ohio River trilogy by author Zane concludes with this novel which is named The Last Trail. The American Revolution and the immediate post-revolutionary era are covered by this trilogy. During this time eastern pioneers crossed the Allegany Mountains on their way to the west where they settled in the basin of the Ohio River. These new arrivals must clear Indians outlaw gangs and renegades from their towns. In this particular tale the safety of this fledgling town is in danger from a group of horse thieves and kidnappers of women. This narrative will provide you with a glimpse into the frontier age when people were moving to the west coast to establish new lives. The plot will exhaust you because there are too many characters involved and since each chapter was horribly repetitive and moved like the car in front of you who perpetually drives the speed limit before speeding up for a moment and then slowing down again.
