Daniel Boone #31

Daniel Boone faces a duel with a fierce Indian warrior after trappers execute a dangerous plan to escape under cover of fire. A tragic backstory reveals that Clark, who volunteered to help in place of his brother Jonathan, became drunk and failed his mission, leading to Jonathan's death—a guilt that has haunted him as a drunkard ever since. Daniel Boone accepts the challenge to the duel, wagering that if he wins, he can depart with his companions unharmed. After dark, Daniel visits Mrs. Logan for supper, where he encounters the hot-headed Indian warrior; when two men refuse to fight Boone directly, he confronts the warrior himself in a climactic battle.
