Cheyenne Kid #36

When two legendary mountain men, Jem Carnahan and Loki Svenn, steal the Cheyenne Kid's horse and furs, he sets out across 300 miles of dangerous territory to track them down—armed with nothing but ingenuity and a homemade bow. What starts as payback turns into a cat-and-mouse game across Comanche country, where the Kid uses cunning and trickery to harass the trappers at every turn. By journey's end, the three rough-and-tumble frontiersmen discover there's more to respect between them than grudges.

When the Sioux Chief Blue Bear cuts off Fort C.F. Smith and starves it into submission, the garrison faces a threat even more dangerous than warriors: scurvy is ravaging the men faster than any attack. Scout Jim Morton hatches an unconventional plan—using a newfangled explosive called dynamite to retrieve a wagonload of potatoes from a distant ranch, then race it back through enemy lines. What begins as a desperate gamble becomes the most unexpected defense the frontier has ever seen.

The Cheyenne Kid escorts Indian Commissioner Lazarus Hook into Sioux territory to present a new treaty that would return hunting grounds and freedom to Bluehead's plains tribes—but when they reach the war-marked chieftain's camp, old blood between the Kid and Bluehead threatens to derail the fragile peace. As a thousand warriors gather to watch, the two men face off in a duel that will determine whether the frontier finds peace or descends further into conflict.
