Frontier Fighters #6

In "The Renegade Fur-Traders," Kit and Silent Deer witness a surprise attack on a wagon train, noticing the unusual number of Cheyenne braves armed with long rifles. Sneaking into the camp under cover of night, they sabotage the weapons by pouring hot tar into the gun barrels and dumping them in the river. Fremont then tasks Kit with uncovering the source of the illegal arms. The story, illustrated by Howard Sherman, captures the tense atmosphere of frontier danger, with a cover by John Prentice that perfectly frames the era's rugged drama.
