Indian Warriors #7
"The Last of the Mohicans," adapted from J. Fenimore Cooper's novel, follows Major Heyward, Cora, Alice Monroe, and David Gamut as they are ambushed and captured by hostile Indians while traveling to Fort William Henry. Rescued by the scout Hawk-Eye and two Mohican Indians, Chingachgook and his son Uncas, the party is led to hidden caves on a rocky island at Glen's Falls, where they are besieged by the warrior Magua. After a fierce battle involving tomahawks and gunfire that kills one of the savages, the survivors manage to escape, with Uncas leaping before Cora and driving back the attackers with a hunting knife. A ranger named Killer Black and his gang also feature in the issue, with the rider attempting to trap Black in Blind Canyon through strategic use of brush fires and ammunition explosions meant to fool the outlaw into thinking an army is pursuing him.
