To the Last Man: A Story of the Pleasant Valley War is a western novel. It is a story of a family feud healed by young love.

The story follows an ancient feud between two frontier families that is inflamed when one of the families takes up cattle rustling.
"Seventeen years ago miners working a claim of Belllounds's in the mountains above Middle Park had found a child asleep in the columbines along the trail. Near that point Indians, probably Arapahoes coming across the mountains to attack the Utes, had captured or killed the occupants of a prairie-schooner. There was no other clue. The miners took the child to their camp, fed and cared for it, and, after the manner of their kind, named it Columbine. Then they brought it to Belllounds.” - Zane Grey, "The Mysterious Rider”
"A face haunted Cameron—a woman's face. It was there in the white heart of the dying campfire; it hung in the shadows that hovered over the flickering light; it drifted in the darkness beyond.” - Zane Grey, "Desert Gold”
Zane Grey (1872-1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories that were a basis for the Western genre in literature and the arts. With his veracity and emotional intensity, he connected with millions of readers worldwide, during peacetime and war, and inspired many Western writers who followed him. Grey was a major force in shaping the myths of the Old West; his books and stories were adapted into other media, such as film and TV productions. He was the author of more than 90 books, some published posthumously and/or based on serials originally published in magazines.

A very good book.
I chose this rating because I enjoyed all of these books in this offering. I grew up reading Zane Grey and I have probably read these stories in the past, but being 81 I have forgotten a lot of the material.

It's hard to beat the eloquently written stories of Zane Grey. These are 3 very good one's taking place in different parts of the West. All are timeless stories of the nature of man.

This was my first attempt to read a Zane Grey novel. I must confess that I struggled with his use of language. Not from a profanity perspective. Just from the word choices that he used. I am assuming that it is entirely in keeping with language from the time in which he was writing. But, I struggled the entire time I was reading it. The story was excellent. But, I don't think I will read another Zane Grey book.
