In the late 18th-century Ohio Valley, "The Spirit of the Border" follows Lew Wetzel, a frontiersman consumed by his mission to defend white settlements from Native peoples, as two Moravian missionary brothers, Jim and Joe Downs, arrive with a different purpose. Their paths diverge in a land of tension and shifting loyalties, only to converge again when both are taken captive by the Delaware Indians. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and Zane Grey, this story unfolds with quiet intensity, grounded in historical atmosphere and moral complexity. Cover by Morris Gollub.
