Cheyenne Kid #41

When a treaty between settlers and the Sioux is shattered by gold fever, the Cheyenne Kid must track down the man responsible for the murder of Iron Horse's son—before the wounded chief takes his entire tribe to war. Racing against a three-day deadline, the frontier scout pursues a killer through broken terrain and hostile country, knowing that the lives of everyone in Coyote Valley depend on bringing the murderer to justice.

The Cheyenne Kid takes on more than hostile tribes when a secret extortion scheme emerges at a transcontinental railroad work camp in this 1963 tale. A Chinese overseer named Li has been terrorizing laborers with threats to their families back home, pocketing their wages through intimidation and violence—but when one brave worker finally speaks up, the Kid must expose the racket and face Li's hatchet-men. Justice comes swiftly to those who prey on the innocent, and the railroad can finally push forward in peace.

When Scott Benton's horse goes lame in a frontier town, a young Indian boy named Little Fox finds it and brings it to the blacksmith to fix—only to be accused of theft by the town's powerful judge, whose hatred of Indians runs deep after a past tragedy. As an unjust trial condemns the innocent boy to hang, Benton must decide whether to let injustice stand or risk becoming an outlaw to stop it. A story about one man's choice to challenge the corruption that binds a whole town.

When Cheyenne Kid takes on the demanding job of ramrodding a cattle drive toward the rail head for an old friend, he faces brutal weather, spooked herds, and deadly stampedes—but the real trouble starts in a valley where a powerful rancher named Breck Farrel has built an iron grip on the locals through extortion and fear. After a midnight raid triggers a stampede that kills a farmer, Cheyenne uncovers a murder that could turn the valley's oppressed people into allies—if he can get them to see the truth before Farrel makes his final move.
