To the Last Man

Zane Grey's Western fiction, To the Last Man, is an adventurous love story in the wilds of Arizona. A crisis builds between two fighting clans of farmers and sheepherders that started years ago in Texas, where the two bad-tempered and opposing patriarchs grew up together. The beautiful natural atmosphere is described wonderfully. As the pretty girl, raised among rough cattle rustlers, the daughter of the clan's leader, and the handsome and bold fighter/half-Indian son of the other leader, the love story has many twists and turns.This romance is consistent with Grey's creation of the pleasurable Valley War, and he puts it all together with respect so that he gets to learn about how to love so well from the strange interests of ancient people.
