Tapestry of Courage: Betty Zane's American Revolution Legacy

One young woman’s courage would become legend.

In the final days of the Revolutionary War, a small group of settlers at Fort Henry along the Ohio River faced an overwhelming siege by British forces and their allies. Outnumbered and nearly out of gunpowder, a teenage girl named Betty Zane made a decision that would forever mark her place in history.

But the battle for the fort is only part of her story.

As the American Revolution gives way to peace, Betty must find her way through love, loss, and hope.

Inspired by true events, Tapestry of Courage brings Betty’s story to life on the American frontier.

Julie T. McKerrihan is a direct descendant of Betty Zane and a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
