The Last Stand

In Matt Braun's The Last Stand, the land of the Five Civilized Tribes is stolen from its people by a federal government determined to make Oklahoma the forty-sixth state. Chitto Starr, a full-blood Cherokee, will not go gently into the night. Instead, Chitto ignites an armed rebellion--and brings an honest, determined lawman onto his trail.

For Deputy US Marshal Owen McLain, hunting down Starr and his rebels is the last job he wants--and the one he has to do right, or die. Now the two men are locked in a duel of cunning and violence on a tragic, history-scarred land. And before one of them dies, they must each make a harrowing journey of honor, courage, and war.
