	Ebenezer Zane
		Zane in that affair, not only for her seal, activity and usefulness, but in her encouragement and exhortations to the men engaged in the defence.
		Zane's intercourse with the natives having been marked by mildness, courtesy and honorable dealing, his hamlet escaped the fury of the savages, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of his western life until the fall of 1777.
		Zane, having pondered the matter, and consulted with some of the old Delaware Indians that lived thereabout, recommended the General to choose either the Miami country or the valley of the Scioto in preference to that which he was then examining.

		Zane's brother, the thirty-four-year-old pioneer Colonel Ebenezer Zane, was the founder and defender of Wheeling.
		That Betty Zane's exploit might not be as well known as could otherwise be wished may be due, however, to an incident which occurred in 1849, sixty-seven years after the event.
		Admittedly, the Indians did not fire at Zane as she was running toward the cabin but did fire a volley upon her return to the fort.

	Betty Zane, by Zane Grey - A Large Print Reviews' Book Review
		Zane Grey is best known for his westerns that featured virile, hard working, and honorable young men who strove to tame the West.
		Betty Zane was Grey's first novel, and rather than being set in the frontier 'west' of his later works, it is set in the American 'west' of the 1780's.
		Also recounted are the romantic tales surrounding Isaac Zane's capture by Indians and his long-term love affair with a Huron Indian Princess, as well as the exploits of the famous (and perhaps deranged) woodsmen and Indian hunter, Lewis Wetzel.

	Ebenezer Zane
		Zane made the first permanent establishment on Ohio river in 1770, on the present site of Wheeling, and built there a block-house called Fort Henry, from which he repelled several attacks that were made by the Indians during the Revolution, the last assault being in 1781.
		The ammunition in the fort having been exhausted, Ebenezer Zane remembered that there was a keg of powder in his house, sixty yards distant, but, the person that should endeavor to secure it would be exposed to the fire of the Indians.
		She went out of the gate of the fort, fearlessly passed the open space to her brother's house, which she entered, and, having secured the powder, retraced her steps amid a shower of Indian bullets, entering the fort in safety with her valuable prize.
