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.

“I once again see the unique talent that placed Matt Braun head-and-shoulders above all the rest who would attempt to bring the legends of the Old West to life. In place of the laconic, two-dimensional characters of Hollywood, Braun has given us men and women of flesh and bone, blood and sinew, people we can see ourselves joining as they walk down those dusty streets of Oklahoma Territory.”
