Indians #14
This issue contains two stories: "Manzar the White Indian" in "Cheyennes Are Fighting Men," which depicts a prison break where men escape from stockade and the protagonist pursues them on horseback, engaging in armed conflict with military troopers. The issue also includes a historical text feature on Plains Indian warfare, covering General Crook's 1876 campaigns against Sioux and Cheyenne forces, the Battle of the Rosebud, subsequent military operations, and the hardships faced by Native Americans following their placement on reservations. Additionally, "Lone Bow" by Captain Stuart Kerrigan follows the titular Indian hunter and his family on a bear hunt that goes awry, resulting in conflict with grizzlies and tension within the group over whether to pursue the dangerous animals.
