5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, compelling and moving, Jun 7 2001
By Charles Culbertson (Staunton, Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"The Last Frontier" was Howard Fast's first bestseller, and rightfully belongs on any short-list of best books. In some of the most beautiful and moving language used by any American writer, Fast tells the story of how 300 Cheyenne Indians -- starving on their Oklahoma reservation -- packed up in 1878 and started a 1,000-mile trek back to the happy hunting grounds of their beloved Wyoming. Hounded by the U.S. cavalry, outnumbered and outgunned, they fought their way north inch by bloody inch.

Although "novelized," the characters and events Fast portrays are real. He reportedly conducted extensive research before the writing process began, and then crafted one of the most heartwrenching stories to come out of the American West.

As a side note, the 1964 John Ford western "Cheyenne Autumn" was based on this book.

Highly recommended reading, but be warned: this was not a pleasant chapter in American history, and the outcome of this story may be upsetting. But I hope so. It is good that we do not forget.
