Young Wild West's Fight on the Plains This issue of *Frank Tousey's* western pulp magazine (No. 318, November 20, 1908) features the story "Young Wild West's Fight on the Plains, or How Arietta Saved the Settlement," by An Old Scout. The narrative begins at Fort Bridger, Wyoming, where a dispute arises between a cavalry officer and a cowboy over whose horse is faster. Young Wild West settles the argument by proposing a three-way race; his sorrel stallion Spitfire handily wins. The text establishes that Wild and his partners—experienced Indian scouts Cheyenne Charlie and Jim Dart—have been summoned to help suppress a rebellion by approximately seventy Brule Indians under Chief Crow Foot, who have abandoned the reservation and are raiding settlements. Wild has brought his companions' wives and his own sweetheart, Arietta Murdock, to the fort. The story continues with preparations to pursue the insurgent Native Americans.
