To the Last Man is Zane Grey's archetypal tale of a bitter feud between two unforgiving factions: the ranchers led by Jean Isbel and, on the other side, Lee Jorth and his band of cattle rustlers. In the grip of a relentless code of loyalty to their own people, they fight the war of the Tonto Basin, desperately, doggedly, to the last man, neither side seeing the futility of it until it is too late.

In this volatile environment, young Jean finds himself hopelessly in love with a girl from whom he is apparently separated by an impassable barrier—the daughter of his father's enemy. How Jean battles to overcome his difficult situation makes for a dramatic conclusion to this desperate feud.

Loosely based on actual historical events, this thrilling story of a hopeless romance amidst a sea of violence will keep listeners spellbound.

      Brand, a regional stage and television comic actor, narrates Grey's classic story of the blood feud. Brand depicts Ellen Jorth and Jean Isbel, the star-crossed lovers, with compassion and pathos. Set during the little-known Grass Valley Arizona range war, the story offers many characters with a variety of accents and dialects, and Brand's versatile performance amazes the listener. Grey maintains suspense to the last line, and Brand keeps the drama high also. A great team has produced a powerful listening experience. S.C.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

      This is a rousing, old-fashioned tale loosely based on the true story of a little-known chapter of Western history: the deadly feud of the Tonto Basin in Arizona or the Pleasant Valley War. When Jean Isbel answers his father's summons home, he makes a huge mistake for a cattleman's son-he falls for a sheepherder's daughter, Ellen Jorth. Her father is expanding his sheepherding operation, and the stock are grazing down the surrounding range. What begins as the age-old rivalry between cattlemen and sheepherders erupts into a violent war between cattlemen and rustlers masquerading as sheep men, and the two lovers are caught in the middle. Indeed, the violence seems to pause only long enough for the womenfolk to bury their dead before the hogs eat them. While the language is a bit dated, Jim Gough's masterful narration of this exciting story will hold listeners spellbound. Since good Westerns are rather scarce on the ground these days, Blackstone Audio is performing a special service by making this old classic available to a new generation. Highly recommended for all libraries.-Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX
