This issue contains two stories. "Gunplay at Gallatin!" follows Jesse James in a bank robbery confrontation at Gallatin. "Teddy Roosevelt and His Rough Riders" depicts the historical events surrounding the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in February 1898 and Roosevelt's subsequent formation of the Rough Riders cavalry unit, detailing their military campaign during the Spanish-American War, including a battle on the Cuban plains where the Americans engage Spanish forces. A third story appears to involve settlers dealing with jinxed land and a character named Carson who helps them relocate.

Gunplay at Gallatin
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When a railroad fire destroys his neighbor's home and the company refuses to pay, Jesse James finds himself pulled back into violence to help the victims—but a rash act during a bank robbery at Gallatin forces him to confront the brutal consequences of his own actions. Written as a tale of frontier justice turned deadly, "Gunplay at Gallatin" shows how one man's fight against corruption can spiral into bloodshed he never intended, with a posse closing in fast.

Men of the West
8 pp · Biography, War

When a battleship explosion in Havana ignites America's call to war, Theodore Roosevelt trades his post at the Navy Department to help form the Rough Riders—a volunteer cavalry of rugged western men—and takes the field as Lieutenant Colonel. Before his Spanish-American War exploits, the story traces the fearless frontier lawmen who would answer that call: Bucky O'Neill, a poet-sheriff who tracked bandits across Arizona badlands; Ben Daniels, who outwitted outlaws in Dodge City; and Tom Rynning, a tough youngster learning to stand his ground in the rough towns of Texas. These are the men of the West who would ride with Roosevelt.

The Battle of San Juan Hill
8 pp · Biography, War

Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders land in Cuba in 1898 ready for combat, but face deadly obstacles from the moment they arrive—including Spanish snipers armed with smokeless powder and treacherous terrain. As the regiment prepares to assault San Juan Hill, Roosevelt must rally his men through casualties, cowardice, and relentless enemy fire to secure the strategic position. This action-packed account captures the grit and sacrifice of one of America's most legendary military campaigns.

Swing Your Partner
6 pp · Western-Frontier

Sharp and Flat, two wandering musicians of the Old West, arrive at a struggling settler colony to offer their services—only to discover the land has been cursed by mysterious cattle deaths and sickness. When they're hired to play music at a farewell party thrown by the seemingly generous Carson, the pair stumbles onto the real reason the settlers are abandoning their property, and uncovers a scheme that goes far deeper than bad luck. With nothing but their wits and their instruments, Sharp and Flat set out to expose the truth and help the settlers reclaim what's rightfully theirs.
