Betty Zane

Zane Grey

Uzbudljive priče o Betty Zane dobro su poznate širom Sjedinjenih Država.Mnoge od tih priča o njenom junaštvu u borbi za vrijeme Revolucije naći će se u svakoj knjižnici i mnogim udžbenicima.

Roman je utemeljen na stvarnim događajima iz života Greyove prapratetke Betty Zane i posljednjoj velikoj opsadi Fort Henryja (danas Wheeling, Zapadna Virginia) u rujnu 1782, tijekom Američkog rata za neovisnost.

Britanski oficir Girty i stotine Shawnee Indijanaca opsjedaju malo utvrđenje na granici gdje živi hrabra obitelj Zane. Nakon višednevnih napada braniteljima ponestaje baruta. Jedini spremnik je u kući pukovnika Ebenezera Zanea, pedesetak metara izvan zidina. Svi muškarci su potrebni na bedemima, pa se Betty, osamnaestogodišnja djevojka puna vatrenog duha, javlja da će potrčati po barut.

Usred kiše metaka i strijele, Betty trči preko otvorenog prostora, grabi bačvicu baruta i vraća se natrag, spašavajući tako utvrdu. Opsada završava slomom Indijanaca, a Betty postaje legenda granice.

Grey ovim prvim romanom slika surov život pionira, obiteljsku hrabrost i borbu za opstanak na posljednjoj američkoj granici. Puna vjernih povijesnih detalja, epskih okršaja i romantičnog prikaza pionirske žene koja je postala simbol otpora.
