In a land ravaged by war and vengeance, Yellow Boy, the last warrior of the Mescalaro stands tall, fighting for the soul of his people. As the nineteenth century gives way to the twentieth, the borderlands of New Mexico, Arizona, Chihuahua, and Sonora are aflame with conflict and chaos. A simmering range war between powerful cattle barons and struggling ranchers in the Tularosa Basin country erupts into violence, culminating in the brutal murder and mysterious disappearance of the esteemed Albert Fountain and his young son, Henry. As revolution ignites in Mexico and trench warfare rages across Europe, the last remnants of the Apache continue to roam wild and free in the Sierra Madre, defying the forces that seek to crush them. Amidst this turmoil, the Mescalero Apache warrior, Yellow Boy, emerges as a beacon of resistance. Armed with his rifle and unyielding spirit, Yellow Boy fights to preserve his people's way of life. He confronts an autocratic Indian agent determined to erase Mescalero culture, battles a malevolent witch bent on blood-soaked vengeance, and metes out justice to those who dare commit heinous crimes against the innocent. The Last Warrior, final installment of The Life and Times of Yellow Boy, Mescalero Apache, is a story of a people fighting for their survival against relentless oppression. Weaving together truth and fiction, W. Michael Farmer paints a devastating picture of a time when cultures clashed and the old ways of the Apache teetered on the brink of extinction. Join Yellow Boy, the last warrior of the Mescalero, as he stands tall against the tides of history, ensuring that his people’s legacy endures.

In the winter of 1901, James W. Jarrott led a band of twenty-five homesteader families toward the Llano Estacado in far West Texas, newly opened for settlement by a populist Texas legislature. But frontier cattlemen who had been pasturing their herds on the unfenced prairie land were enraged by the encroachment of these “nesters.” In August 1902 a famous hired assassin, Jim Miller, ambushed and murdered J. W. Jarrott. Who hired Miller? This crime has never been solved, until now. Award-winning author Bill Neal investigates this cold case and successfully pieces together all the threads of circumstantial evidence to fit the noose snugly around the neck of Jim Miller’s employer. What emerges from these pages is the strength of intriguing characters in an engrossing narrative: Jim Jarrott, the diminutive advocate who fearlessly champions the cause of the little guy. The ruthless and slippery assassin, Deacon Jim Miller. And finally Jarrott’s young widow Mollie, who perseveres and prospers against great odds and tells the settlers to “Stay put!”
