Catalog Description *Young Wild West: The Prince of the Saddle*, by "An Old Scout," is the lead story in this inaugural issue of a weekly magazine devoted to Western fiction. The narrative opens near Fort Bridger, Wyoming, where Cheyenne Charlie, a renowned scout and Indian fighter, offers a wild sorrel stallion to any man who can break and ride it. Several border men attempt the task—a tough scout, a half-breed, Jack Robedee, a small man called Wiry (who suffers a broken arm), and a Mexican half-breed suspected of banditry, who is killed when thrown. No one succeeds until eighteen-year-old Young Wild West arrives, having recently escaped a Sioux ambush with bullet wounds and bloodstained buckskin. His arrival immediately impresses Cheyenne Charlie and the assembled men, who recognize his reputation. The episode establishes Wild West as the story's protagonist through his reputation and commanding presence.
