The Last Hunt was written by Milton Lott while he was in one of George R. Stewart's classes.[1] Lott worked on the novel while in school, and received a fellowship from Houghton Mifflin to finish the book.[2] The book was made into a movie. It was published in German by the Deutsche Hausbücherei in 1956 as Die letzte Jagd.

The story is set in the 19th century, and deals with the lives of two men, whose cattle herd is wiped out by a storm. The men go into the buffalo hunting business. The novel deals with their life in the trade, including a fight with Indians and the shooting of a white buffalo.[3]
