Beadle's Pocket Library No. 67
This issue of *Beadle and Adams* weekly presents the opening installment of "Rollo, the Boy Ranger; Or, The Heiress of the Golden Horn" by Oll Coomes, an adventure serial set on the American frontier. The protagonist is a seventeen-year-old ranger armed with rifle, revolvers, and saber, skilled in horsemanship and reconnaissance. The narrative opens with Rollo witnessing a settlement's execution of a captured outlaw named Dick Sherwood—a renegade who infiltrated the post disguised as an Indian. Rollo intercepts three attacking Sioux warriors before summoning allied Indian forces to defend Clontarf's Post against a war party. The story combines frontier action with conflict between settlers, renegades, and Native Americans, establishing a plot involving the mysterious "Golden Horn" referenced in the title.
