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.
