Young Wild West at Magic Mark; or, Showing Them How to Run a Camp This October 1916 dime novel (#730) features the titular hero Young Wild West with his two partners—Cheyenne Charlie, a famous scout, and Jim Dart—arriving at the rough mining camp of Magic Mark, Montana. The camp of 62 inhabitants (56 men, 4 women, 1 child, and 1 Chinese person) is ruled by the bullying Hen Holt, who pistol-whips an arriving tenderfoot. Wild West intervenes, eventually forcing Holt and his associate to drop their guns through sheer nerve and marksmanship. After the men attempt a physical attack, Young Wild West floors both with his fists. Cheyenne Charlie and Jim Dart then humiliate them by dunking both bullies into a water trough. The tale demonstrates Wild West's philosophy that law and decency should prevail over frontier tyranny. The narrative emphasizes physical action, gunplay, and the hero's moral conviction rather than marksmanship alone.
