In "Annie Oakley," the famous sharpshooter arrives in the town of Dry Gulch and learns of a gang of bull black outlaws planning to raid the town; Annie teams up with the local sheriff to help defend against the threat, and later pursues one of the gang members on horseback with assistance from her horse Rusty.
When corrupt Indian Agent Johnson systematically starves the Cheyenne people while pocketing their provisions, Golden Arrow springs into action—but the crusader's campaign of righteous theft and daring raids only provokes Johnson to take a hostage, forcing a desperate reckoning at the fort. With proof of the agent's crimes in hand and his wits matched against Johnson's murderous cunning, Golden Arrow must navigate treachery, betrayal, and a perilous cliff-side confrontation to protect both Nanooka and the fragile peace between two peoples.
Rusty Hall captures the notorious outlaw known as the Coyote, but the killer escapes from jail before his execution—touching off a desperate chase through treacherous mountain terrain filled with deadly traps and ambushes. As Rusty pursues the cunning fugitive with an Eastern newspaper reporter in tow, he'll need all his skill, courage, and an unexpected ally to bring the Coyote to justice.
Wild Bill Hickok arrives in Deadwood with a fearsome reputation, but on August 2, 1876, he makes a fateful decision that breaks his survival instincts—sitting at a poker table with his back to the open door. When a stranger named Jack M'Call walks over from the bar and shoots him down, Hickok's final hand—aces and eights—falls to the floor, forever earning the name "the Dead Man's Hand" in frontier gambling lore.
