☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDaniel Boone undertakes a dangerous overnight mission to deliver a message to Governor Dunmore, racing to prevent an Indian uprising that threatens the settlement of Fort Pitt. After successfully relaying the urgent news, Boone returns to Fort Kellog where he convinces the Governor to dispatch militia to reinforce the frontier. The issue also features a secondary story about young Bob Holden, who encounters a fierce mountain lion named Bluff while hunting—a creature so fearsome that even experienced frontiersmen dread facing it, but which ultimately becomes a loyal companion.
When Captain Daniel Boone works to secure the Treaty of Watauga—a land deal between settlers and the Cherokee that promises $50,000 in supplies—he finds himself caught between suspicious allies and ruthless enemies. British Lt. Howard and his soldiers move to sabotage the agreement and turn Chief Big Arrow's people against the colonists, while the hotheaded Green Foot questions whether the white negotiators will ever honor their word. Boone must race to recover the stolen treaty and deliver the promised supplies before the British convince the Cherokee to join the fight against the rebellion.
When Chief Blackfish of the Shawanese Indians launches his largest assault yet on Boonesborough—bolstered by British cannons and a force that threatens to overwhelm the settlement—Daniel Boone must rally his weary defenders and turn the tables on his cunning rival. Boone devises a daring deception to make the Shawanese believe reinforcements have arrived, but his victory comes with a steep price when Sam Esty makes a fateful decision that plays directly into Blackfish's hands.
Captain Daniel Boone embarks on a desperate 800-mile race against time to warn a surveying party led by Captain Ross that they're unknowingly camped in the path of an impending Indian war. Joined by Sam Esty, Boone first rushes to deliver urgent intelligence to Governor Dunmore, then turns around to trek back through the Kentucky wilderness to reach the surveyors before the Wyandotte Indians and their allied tribes launch their assault. With only minimal sleep and supplies, the two woodsmen must navigate constant danger and hostile encounters to complete their perilous mission.
Young Bob Holden sets out hunting with his unreliable dog Bluff, only to find himself cornered by hostile Indians and forced to take shelter in a cave—where he discovers a mountain lion has claimed the same refuge. With his rifle lost outside and no way to fight the beast, Bob faces what seems like certain doom, but Bluff's sudden reappearance may prove the scrappy hound is worth more than anyone gave him credit for.
