☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Buffalo Bill #6 (June 1951) The main story, "Chief Rain-in-the-Face," follows Buffalo Bill as he becomes entangled in frontier conflict during 1850. A young Sioux warrior named Chief Iron Eyes seeks to stop a white man named Blackie Japes from selling horses to soldiers, fearing the weapons will be used against his people. Buffalo Bill encounters the situation at Twin Rock, where he learns of Iron Eyes' concerns about the trade fueling conflict between the North and South. The story depicts Buffalo Bill navigating between settlers and Native Americans as tensions escalate over the horse trade and territorial disputes.
When George Summers and his daughter Lydia vanish along Cadaver Trail, Buffalo Bill and his sidekick Short Sleeves are dispatched to investigate—only to discover the legend of twisted monsters stalking the remote region is terrifyingly real. Captured by a deformed tribe descended from the outcast Meztoc Indians, the two scouts find themselves imprisoned in a hidden valley and face sacrifice to a flame god the tribe believes will restore their humanity. With the clock ticking toward a horrifying ritual, Buffalo Bill and Short Sleeves must turn the tables on their captors and rescue the Summers family before the sacrificial ceremony claims them all.
Chief Rain-in-the-Face earns his fearsome name through acts of bravery—first in a youthful wrestling match, then in a raid against the Gros Ventre to reclaim stolen horses, and finally in a daring charge on Fort Totten in 1866. When he's later captured and sentenced to hang for killing a soldier, the legendary Sioux leader must fight for his freedom and his people's survival through one of the frontier's most pivotal battles. A gripping account of a warrior's rise and the cost of resistance against the encroaching tide of settlement.
Buffalo Bill is en route to Fort Laramie when he discovers that rustlers Kirby Miller and Pecos have made a murderous deal with the Cheyenne—hiding stolen cattle in exchange for ammunition meant for the Army's powder train. When Buffalo Bill and the legendary Wild Bill Hickok both fall into the conspirators' trap, they must rely on an unexpected ally to escape captivity and stop the scheme before dawn breaks on a devastating ambush. With the odds stacked against them and the fate of the territory hanging in the balance, these two greatest scouts of the West race to outwit the outlaws and protect what the Army desperately needs.
