Law Of The Desert Born (Ss) (1984) - Plot & Excerpts
To the old-timers, much of what was referred to as the Tonto Basin actually lay outside of it, but it served to specify the locality. It was the scene of several Indian battles, including those General Crook led against the Apaches, but it is better known for the Tonto Basin War between the Tewksberry and Graham factions. This is often referred to as a war between cattlemen and sheepmen, and certainly that was one element involved, but the Grahams and Tewksberrys had trouble before sheep entered the picture. The number of people killed varies with the information available to the teller, but probably twenty-six men were killed during the war, and more likely twice that number. The father of the Blevins boys disappeared during the fighting and was probably killed. At one point, the fighting became so bitter that if a man saw a stranger, he shot him. The idea was that if he wasn't on my side, he had to be on the other or he wouldn't be there. Tom Horn was briefly involved. Zane Grey had a cabin in the Basin.
