Geronimo #2
Indian Chief Geronimo on the Warpath The story centers on "The Murderous Battle at Kiskayah," in which a search party is sent out to track down the outlaw Geronimo after a payroll massacre. Captain Wilder leads soldiers and Indian scouts to pursue Geronimo's trail through the mountains of San Rincón, where the Apache chief and his warriors prepare an ambush. The conflict escalates when Evans leads fifty men against the Apaches, resulting in a savage battle at the camp, with Geronimo preparing another ambush and planning to take scalps. A secondary narrative reveals a curse placed on the land 200 years earlier by the Mohali medicine men, which brings death to white men who settle there; this curse motivates the climactic confrontation at Fort York, where characters must retrieve a captured woman while the supernatural curse threatens to consume all involved.
