Dead-Eye Western v1 #11
The issue contains at least two stories. The first involves a prospector named Cruger who has hidden gold in Cruger's Cave a hundred miles south, and when discovered by an old prospector, leads to a confrontation with the mysterious "Iron Men"—armored outlaws whose bullets bounce off their suits—who are pursued by rangers. The second story, "The Man Who Didn't Know Indians," follows Walker Craig, a stubborn wagon train leader who ignores advice about dealing with Native Americans and causes a massacre; he later learns his lesson about taking orders when, at the war's end between the states, he resolves never to take orders from anyone again at an Appomattox courthouse.
