A story of tragedy and hope depicts the vicious conflict between a family and a gang of cattle thieves.
To the Last Man is the story of Arizona's Pleasant Valley War, one of the most legendary conflicts of the Old West. A venomous feud between cattle ranchers, the Isbels, and sheepherders, the Jorths, plunges both families into a deadly cycle of vengeance. Yet, even as their families spiral into annihilation, Ellen Jorth and Jean Isabel struggle to keep their fateful romance alive.

A western romance centered in a fictionalized account of the Pleasant Valley, Arizona wars, a real feud that occurred throughout the 1880's and into the 1890's, with all of the men, except one, dead. 35 - 50 casualties. The bloodiness of it all delayed Arizona's statehood for a generation, Congress believing the territory was too uncivilized to be a state. An awesome tale. (Kenneth)
