To the Last Man is more than a rattling-good story Zane Grey spent a lot of money and months of study to make it an accurate picture of one of the most dramatic conflicts in our history, the protracted struggle between sheepmen and cattlemen for the ranges of the West. Against this, stirring background, full of breathless action and gigantic adventure, he has painted one of the ten derest and most pleasing love stories he has ever portrayed.
