☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories: "Their Last Battle," the main feature, depicts the Cheyenne Kid and a Foot Surveyor standing alone against a Sioux war party near a river and waterfall, with the Sioux determined to prevent word of their actions from reaching the tribe's tribesmen. "The Defenders," a text story with historical illustrations, recounts Chief Sequi-to-tori's decision to lead Osage braves on a horse-stealing raid, the resulting treaty with white settlers, and the subsequent siege of the town of Sommerville in 1864 when Sequi-to-tori goes on the warpath, forcing townspeople to fortify and prepare for battle.
The Cheyenne Kid guides three inexperienced surveyors through the Black Hills when a Sioux war party led by Santos—a childhood rival—attacks them at Medicine Rock. Using his knowledge of tribal warrior code, the Cheyenne Kid challenges Santos to single combat, betting the safety of the surveyors on his ability to prevail in a brutal hand-to-hand fight.
Cheyenne Kid spots a captive in the hands of a group of Indians and must devise a rescue without putting the prisoner in danger. Using quick thinking and careful planning—including a daring swim and a strategically placed rope—he executes an elaborate scheme to free the captive and turn the river itself into an instrument against his foes. It's a tense race against time and current that puts Cheyenne Kid's resourcefulness to the test.
The Cheyenne Kid finds himself caught between settlers and Sioux braves when a mysterious war party attacks—but his investigation reveals something far more sinister than simple tribal conflict. Disguising himself to infiltrate the enemy camp and uncover the truth, the Cheyenne Kid discovers a dangerous scheme that threatens everyone in Granite Canyon. Now he must race against time to expose the real conspiracy before another attack destroys the settlers he's sworn to protect.
The Cheyenne Kid finds himself the newly appointed Justice of the Peace in a frontier town—a role that demands quick thinking and fairness rather than the strength and daring that made him legendary in the wilderness. When a land dispute lands on his docket, he must navigate a web of deception to uncover the truth and dispense real justice, proving that a man's character counts for more than his schooling.
When a smooth trader named Ray Walls arrives in Buffalo Valley offering lavish gifts for seemingly worthless land deeds, the Cheyenne Kid grows suspicious of his motives—and rightly so. As Walls systematically trades rifles and riches to the trusting tribe, the Cheyenne Kid must uncover what the trader really wants before it's too late, and decide whether the gifts the people cherish are worth what they're giving up.
