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.

The Graham-Tewskbury feud on which this story is based is as legendary out West as the Hatfield-McCoy feud is back East. Zane Grey, of course, adds his own twist to the facts, but over-all this is probably the most accurate accounting there will ever be, as Zane Grey was able to talk to old-timers who were still living and had gone through the feud. The one scene with the hogs is the one most readers will never forget, and is based on fact. The "Romeo and Juliet" part is consistent with other romances written by Grey, and has to be in the story line to make it historical romance, which is what he considered himself to be writing---not westerns! In fact, the word, or term, "western" was not even coined until around 1930. By then Zane Grey had been writing this kind of stories for 20 years. We do an injustice to him when we say, "oh, the writer of westerns" when his name is mentioned.
