Outlaws of the West #40

Outlaws of the West #40 The issue features two main stories. "The Capture" depicts a lawman confronting Rollie Kash inside a hideout; when a stranger arrives with a prison pallor and haunted eyes, Rollie draws his gun and they struggle in a "weird and deadly dance of death," with horses spooked by gunfire fleeing the scene. The second story, told as a narrative account, recounts a trapper's experiences trading with Native Americans on the plains, describing encounters with Shoshone Indians, the capture of beaver pelts worth $4,320, and conflicts between trappers and tribal war parties, ultimately illustrating the risks and dangers of the fur trade in the early American frontier.
