Originally published in 1941, The Last Frontier is the story of the Cheyenne Indians in the 1870s, and their bitter struggle to flee from the Indian Territory in Oklahoma back to their home in Wyoming and Montana. Some 300 Indians, led by Little Wolf, fought against General Crook and 10,000 troops, with only 60 finally making it through to freedom. Fast extensively researched this book in the late 1930s, visiting and speaking with Cheyenne experts in Norman, Oklahoma. This was the first of Fast's many books to gain a wide popular audience; it was eventually made by John Ford into the classic film Cheyenne Autumn (1964).

This book was published in 1941, and I was in hopes that it would be a factual account of what happened to the Northern cheyennes at Fort Reno in Oklahoma. It was more than anything I had imagined. The author, sensing that there was a great story here went to painstaking detail to provide his readers with the actual happenings. In the winter of 1878-79 a band of Northern Cheyenne under Dull Knife, Wild Hog, and Little Wolf left the reservation to return home to their land in the Powder River country of Wyoming knowing they would be followed and brought back to the reservation or killed in the attempt. They figured they had nothing to lose because they were being starved to death on the reservation. There wasn't enough food for all the tribes on the reservation, so the Indian agent was feeding the Christian indians, which precluded the Cheyenne. There were almost four hundred men, women, and children. How they were treated on the long chase through three states and the Dakota territory was pathetic, disgraceful and downright shameful. Read it for yourself and see if you don't agree with me.
