Dan'l Boone #6

Dan'l Boone's quick thinking saves a Shawnee war party from ambushing settlers, and when Chief Blackfish's son falls in the fight, Boone's compassion earns him an unexpected honor: Blackfish adopts him as his own son. But Boone's new life among the Shawnees is threatened when the ambitious Running Pine schemes to seize power, forcing the frontier hunter to choose between the freedom of the forest and loyalty to the man who claimed him as family.

In "The Man From Prison!", Jim Reston, a man trying to start fresh after prison, leads a wagon train only to face a deadly ambush by fugitives. When Daniel Boone happens upon the scene and drives off the attackers, Jim is suddenly accused of orchestrating the raid himself.

Chief Blackfish orchestrates a cunning scheme to reclaim Dan'l Boone, luring the frontier scout away from his rifle with a cry for help—but the wilderness itself proves to be Boone's truest ally when he's forced to fight off the Shawnees without his famous long-stick. As Blackfish watches his warriors fall before a man who seems to pull weapons from the very earth around him, the chief comes to a startling realization about the man he once called son.
