The Last Rancher Standing
Cliven Bundy
When federal agents confronted Cliven over his so-called grazing fees on public land, he said that he felt like the “last man standing.”
It’s fascinating to see how Cliven Bundy’s story has captured so much attention!
He’s been the “rancher that stood” to a wide array of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as countless news segments covering this long-standing debate.
Two notable book-length accounts offer distinct perspectives.
Betsy Gaines Quammen’s “American Zion: Cliven Bundy, God and Public Lands in the West” originated as her PhD dissertation, providing an academic lens to the account.
Michael Stickler’s “Cliven Bundy: American Patriot,” plunges the reader directly into a gripping and highly debated chapter of American history told through Cliven Bundy’s own voice.
