☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories: "General Nelson A. Miles: The Hero of the Plains," which recounts how youth Bill "Silent" Williams was inspired by tales from frontiersman Rafe Blake to venture west in 1806, only to be captured by Osage Indians in a trap after injuring his ankle, leading to his eventual submission to captivity; and "Little Eagle and the Crystal Eye of Yhatza," in which Magic Arrow pursues a mysterious Seneca ceremonial bead during a Huron war expedition, encountering a gypsy and discovering sacred artifacts that lead to a magical arrow returning with a shining prize.
Fresh from his Civil War victories, General Nelson A. Miles takes command of the Fifth U.S. Infantry in the Indian Territory and faces his first major test against the tribes of the plains. Through bold strategy and relentless pursuit, Miles earns his reputation as one of the greatest Indian fighters, orchestrating campaigns against the Sioux, Comanche, Kiowa, and Apache. This 1951 biography traces his rise from a commander new to frontier warfare to the legendary strategist who shaped the final chapters of the Indian Wars.
A six-foot-four mountain man of remarkable skill and courage, Silent Bill Williams emerges from the Carolina frontier to become one of the West's most legendary Indian fighters, his deadly aim and quick thinking earning him a fearsome reputation among friend and foe alike. From his early days trapping alongside the famous Joseph Reddeford Walker to his harrowing expeditions with Colonel Frémont across treacherous territory, Silent's life becomes a series of desperate battles against Apache war parties, Osage captors, and the unforgiving wilderness itself. This is the true story of how a quiet, reluctant hero carved his name into the very geography of the American frontier, driven again and again into danger despite his deepest wish for peace.
When a gypsy wanderer and his dancing bear arrive in tribal lands, they stir up long-simmering tensions between the Huron and Seneca nations—planting stolen treasures and false evidence to spark a war that will line his own pockets. Magic Arrow, the Seneca warrior whose enchanted arrows curve through the air with mystical precision, must track down the real culprit before hatred and bloodlust consume both tribes and plunge the forest into devastating conflict. A tale of deception, courage, and the power of justice to overcome treachery, from the pages of Indian Fighter #10.
