Buffalo Bill #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBuffalo Bill volunteers to guide dog handlers through hostile Indian territory to reach the frontier village of Grizzly Gap, which has been struck by a smallpox epidemic and urgently needs medical aid. When the group discovers the trail has been cut off, they must fight their way through attacking Native Americans and stampeding horses to reach the settlement and deliver the crucial serum. The issue also features "Grey Wolf," a story by Manny Stallman about an Indian named Grey Wolf and his wolf-companion Lobo who fight to recover a magical charm stolen by white silver-seekers from a Kiowa chieftain's camp.
Buffalo Bill returns from Washington with something precious in his saddlebags—something powerful enough to change the territory forever—but he's not the only one who knows it. When a stagecoach carrying the frontier scout and the charming Lola Duval comes under attack from Sioux warriors, Buffalo Bill proves why he's the King of Scouts, only to discover that the real threat may come from an unexpected quarter: a smooth-talking easterner named Jeremiah Clancy whose cowardice might just be an act. As Buffalo Bill races toward Fort Kearney with his mysterious cargo, a web of betrayal tightens around him, and every ally becomes suspect.
When white prospectors steal White Dove's sacred magic charm and invade Kiowa hunting grounds in search of silver, Grey Wolf and his faithful wolf-companion Lobo must fight to reclaim it and drive out the thieves. Betrayed and trapped by the greedy miners, Grey Wolf faces impossible odds—but the power of the charm and an unexpected rescue may turn the tide in a brutal clash between the forest and those who would exploit it.
When the frontier village of Grizzly Gap sends out a desperate call for medical aid during a contagion outbreak, Buffalo Bill volunteers to guide Doc Walters through hostile Indian territory with the serum they need. Their perilous journey through the mountains—marked by wild animal attacks, a daring theft from a Piute village, and a harrowing escape across a rope bridge—tests both men to their limits. All that stands between the village and salvation is their nerve and Buffalo Bill's cunning.
When Lieutenant John Fremont accepts a dangerous government assignment to map the Great Salt Lake region in 1843, he enlists Kit Carson as his scout—but the Sioux have other plans. As the expedition faces ambushes, treacherous mountain passes, and capture, Fremont must rely on wit and ingenuity to survive the "Ghost Dance of Death" and complete his mission.
