To the Last Man a Tale of Feud; Classic American Western Story (Annotated and Illustrated) includes detailed biography and 10 photos of Zane Grey.Editorial ReviewsFrom Library JournalThis is a rousing, old-fashioned tale loosely based on the true story of a little-known chapter of Western history: the deadly feud of the Tonto Basin in Arizona or the Pleasant Valley War. When Jean Isbel answers his father's summons home, he makes a huge mistake for a cattleman's son-he falls for a sheepherder's daughter, Ellen Jorth. Her father is expanding his sheepherding operation, and the stock are grazing down the surrounding range. What begins as the age-old rivalry between cattlemen and sheepherders erupts into a violent war between cattlemen and rustlers masquerading as sheep men, and the two lovers are caught in the middle. Indeed, the violence seems to pause only long enough for the womenfolk to bury their dead before the hogs eat them. While the language is a bit dated, Jim Gough's masterful narration of this exciting story will hold listeners spellbound. Since good Westerns are rather scarce on the ground these days, Blackstone Audio is performing a special service by making this old classic available to a new generation. Highly recommended for all libraries.Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TXCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

This is a rousing, old-fashioned tale that Grey based on the true story of a chapter of Western history—the deadly feud of the Tonto Basin in Arizona, also known as "The Pleasant Valley War." It might be compared to an Old West Romeo and Juliet with two feuding families and two star crossed sweethearts.Family loyalty, forbidden love, and rivalry between cattle ranchers and sheep herders are all wrapped up in this classic western tale.

The Walter J. Black Editions were reprints of seventy-three of Zane Grey's titles with one additional title appearing as a First Edition. The series also included a biography of Zane Grey. They were bound in red and tan cloth and originally came in a rice paper cover. I have a bunch of these volumes, all of which do not appear to have been very used. In all cases, the rice paper covers (if present) have yellowed and may be torn, the end pieces and fly leafs may be yellowed, and the pages themselves may also be yellowed. Other than that they are no markings, stains, wrinkled or torn pages, or other flaws internally. One problem may of these volumes tend to have is the blue and red labels on the spine tend to wear off and are sometimes unreadable. This volume is To the Last Man, has 311 pages, and is in very good condition. The binding is tight, there are no markings, tears, or other signs of use anywhere in the book. The outside is fine, with no wear except the title block on the spine is beginning to wear off (the blue and red area at the top of the spine on these books are often quite worn and sometimes hard to read). The rice paper cover is IS included.

To the Last Man is Zane Grey's archetypal tale of a bitter feud between two unforgiving factions: the ranchers led by Jean Isbel and, on the other side, Lee Jorth and his band of cattle rustlers. In the grip of a relentless code of loyalty to their own people, they fight the war of the Tonto Basin, desperately, doggedly, to the last man, neither side seeing the futility of it until it is too late. In this volatile environment, young Jean finds himself hopelessly in love with a girl from whom he is apparently separated by an impassable barrier-the daughter of his father's enemy. How Jean battles to overcome his difficult situation makes for a dramatic conclusion to this desperate feud. Loosely based on actual historical events, this thrilling story of a hopeless romance amidst a sea of violence will keep listeners spellbound.
