Beadle's New York Dime Library No. 463

Catalog Note This issue features "Yank Yellowbird's Hot Campaign" by William H. Manning, a western adventure serial. The narrative follows Gold Gauntlet, a striking figure in gold-trimmed velvet, riding through Utah seeking enemies. He discovers a mysterious red-painted image on a cliff face depicting a kneeling, Eastern-dressed man holding an anchor with a lasso behind him, accompanied by the incomplete inscription "DARK TRAGEDY HAS OCCURRED—" A skeleton lies nearby. He later encounters a rifle-bearing guard blocking entry to "Dan City Reservation," warning of death for trespassers, which piques Gauntlet's determination to investigate further. The serial alternates with a secondary narrative introducing Yank Yellowbird, Bronx Hendershot, and an Indian companion riding toward hills, where Yank regales Hendershot with a tall tale about a desperate train chase escaping rioters. The story emphasizes frontier mystery, danger, and folksy frontier dialogue.
