by Cecil B. Hartley. Softbound, 320 pages, 6" x 9". First published in 1859. History has portrayed Wetzel as both a hero and a villain. Some say he was a murdering psychopath. Undoubtedly the best woodsman/warrior that ever lived, he was responsible for the death of over 100 Indians -- chiefs, warriors, women and children; and he did everything in his power to prevent any peaceful settlement between whites and Indians from taking place. Also contains biographical sketches of other famous frontier names such as Simon Kenton, Benjamin Logan, Samuel Brady and many others.
