The Last of One is a tale of epic and intimate human conflicts. Covering a span of some ninety years, it's a story of relationships and love, growing up, and growing old. Two first-person narrators tell the tale: Tom, the young man, and the WWI veteran, Dan. Tom has known Dan all his life, as he grew up down the street from the mysterious Methuselah who worked at the city park. As an adult, Tom cares for Dan through a volunteer elder care program and he begins to discover that the old walkin' man has more secrets than he ever imagined. Thus begins the narrative journey of this centenarian, from falling in love with his teacher, running away to war, meeting Ernest Hemingway, to fighting horrific battles, and even dying.
