☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue features two main stories. "Chief Washakie: Red Brother of the White Man," illustrated by Stephen Kirkel, recounts the history of the great Shoshone chief Washakie, who ruled his people for sixty years and fought alongside whites against hostile tribes; when the cavalry seeks his aid against a frontier uprising, General Crook calls upon Washakie to help quell the rebellion. "Redskin" follows a government courier transporting a stolen treaty through Cheyenne territory to Washington, walking into a death trap as hostile Indians, led by the false prophet Kitsipion and the warrior Sedotee, pursue him; Kitsipion's deception and violent ambitions threaten to destroy the peace, while Flaming Arrow's flaming arrows set the camp ablaze in the ensuing conflict.
Chief Washakie of the Shoshone earns his place in frontier history by keeping a decades-old promise to white explorers and standing as an unwavering ally to the U.S. Army. When General Crook faces a dangerous ambush by Cheyenne and Sioux forces at Black Pass, Washakie devises a daring tactical plan to outmaneuver the enemy and seal their escape route. His loyalty and cunning leadership in this pivotal battle cement his legacy as one of the greatest Indian chiefs America has ever known.
When the Cheyenne's treaty with the federal government is stolen and their messenger killed, Redskin races to Washington to stop Indian Agent Josiah Klegg from claiming their ancestral lands—but assassins hired by Klegg pursue him relentlessly, from a sabotaged train at Black Sun Mountain to the halls of power itself. With every door in the capital slammed shut against him, Redskin must find a way to reach the Secretary of Indian Affairs before a three-week deadline seals his people's fate.
Flaming Arrow pursues the Ogala war chief Kitsipon across the frontier after he steals the U.S. government's sacred peace seal—a theft meant to spark war between Indian nations and white settlers. When Kitsipon infiltrates a Sioux war council in disguise, Magoosa exposes him and his scheme, but the renegade escapes with the chief's daughter as hostage, fortifying himself at an abandoned army post. Now Flaming Arrow must use his wits and his mystical fire-arrows to rescue the girl, recover the seal, and stop Kitsipon's plot before the tribes tear themselves apart.
