☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBlack Fury #6 is an anthology featuring three stories: "The Wonder Horse in The Lame and the Swift," in which a wild black stallion repeatedly outwits a hunter named Hitch Kragg and his men; "Singer of Six Gun Songs," a Western tale about a cattle drive from the Bar E Ranch to Dodge City, where a wandering young man named Jeff Davis joins ranch owner Hank Sheridan and his daughter Helen on the trail; and "Ballyhoo Barney and the Death Ride," a circus story in which a performer's lost goggles become the subject of confusion between circus owner Mr. Bungling and an acrobat named Goggles.
When wild horse hunter Crash Daggett sets a grass fire to trap Black Fury's herd, the stallion's warning saves them—but a crippled mare falls behind, and Daggett sees his chance for revenge. Black Fury stays loyal to the injured mare even as Daggett pursues them into the hills, where the stallion must face down both a ruthless outlaw and a pack of timber wolves to protect his herd mate. In the end, the wild king's courage and bond with a desperate prospector prove stronger than any trap man or nature can set.
When a customer demands a refund from Professor Tuck for a memory course that's made his memory worse instead of better, the self-proclaimed memory expert turns the tables with some clever reasoning—or is it just luck? This quick-witted humor tale plays out the irony of a forgetful man trying to prove he bought something he can't remember, giving Professor Tuck the perfect opening to turn the tables.
High in the snowy Sierra Nevada passes, a lost wagon train of settlers desperately seeks the way down as winter closes in—and their unlikely salvation comes when they encounter Black Fury, a magnificent wild stallion leading his own herd toward lower ground. When a young woman named Sue befriends the noble horse, tensions erupt between the wagon master and another man over both her affections and Black Fury's fate, forcing a reckoning about freedom and what it truly means to help those in need.
Ballyhoo Barney hires a talented acrobat named Goggles for his circus's latest death-defying act, but when the performer's glasses go missing just before showtime, Barney finds himself forced to take the starring role in the high-wire bicycle stunt himself. His desperate attempt to keep the act afloat—complete with a makeshift safety solution—spirals into chaos when the circus crowd discovers the deception, leaving Ballyhoo to face an angry mob and an even angrier circus owner.
