Fighting Indians of the Wild West #2

In 1952, readers discovered the legend of Shicksa Staglito—the red-haired youth raised as an Apache warrior by Hungry Horse after a brutal raid claimed his white mother, Helen Roach, in 1868. Years later, as the skilled fighter rides alongside Geronimo on the war trail, a grief-stricken Edwin Roach hunts the Apache responsible for his wife's death, armed only with the thunderbird-marked knife left at the scene and a decade of determination. When smoke signals and cavalry tactics finally bring the two men face to face on a windswept ridge, a stunning truth about blood, identity, and choice threatens to shatter everything the red-headed Apache believes about himself.

A mad Sauk warrior consumed by vengeance, Makai launches a brutal killing spree against the tribe—targeting Chief Black Hawk's loved ones in a grudge feud that forces the war chief to abandon tribal peace and hunt him down. As Black Hawk takes the warpath, he discovers that stopping Makai may demand the ultimate sacrifice, one that threatens everything he holds dear. This tale of rage, honor, and impossible choices unfolds across the frontier in "The Mad-Dog Sauk!"

When a divine thunderbolt gifts Crazy Horse a sacred tomahawk forged by the medicine man Hatsienda, the young Sioux war-chief leads his warriors to stunning victories against the advancing cavalry and settlers threatening their hunting grounds. But when the magic weapon is lost in battle, Crazy Horse must venture alone and unarmed into Fort Kearney itself to reclaim the symbol that has become the heart of his people's hope—and their will to fight.

Chief Victorio stands alone against three renegade Apache leaders—Dog, Hatsena, and Crowfoot—who've been corrupted by white traders peddling whiskey and forbidden rifles to his people. When Victorio discovers that the same traders murdered Ha-Kee-Ga, the medicine man, he pursues them across the desert with the strength and cunning to enforce tribal law and protect the peace he's sworn to uphold. This 1952 tale captures the Apache war chief caught between his commitment to treaties and the fierce battles required to preserve his people's way.
