Book
To the Last Man
First published 1922
In Arizona’s Tonto Basin and Rim country in 1887, two young people from rival ranching families fall in love while an inherited feud moves steadily toward catastrophe. Each household carries old grievances that have become part of its identity, making compromise seem like betrayal even to people who recognise the destruction ahead.
The conflict echoes the real range violence associated with the Pleasant Valley country, where disputes over cattle, sheep, land and authority hardened into cycles of retaliation. Against that background, the romance becomes a direct challenge to family loyalty. Peace depends on people breaking with the very traditions that their relatives insist must be defended to the last man.
