Straight Arrow #50
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeStraight Arrow encounters a visiting Cheyenne girl named Dawn Girl and falls in love with her, but discovers she is a member of a rival raiding party led by Red Hawk. When Spotted Elk attempts to court Dawn Girl by testing her with challenges, he is accidentally struck by a knife. The next day, a wounded stranger arrives in town reporting that hostile Comanche have captured a woman and are holding her at their headquarters. Straight Arrow and the Comanche work together to rescue the captive, using smoke signals to communicate with her father and coordinate a rescue. By nightfall, Walt Jarvis, a gun-slick observing from nearby, learns that the girl is safe and the Comanche are protecting her, realizing this may be an opportunity for him.
With food scarce for his tribe, Straight Arrow agrees to escort a wagon-train carrying rifles westward—but when raiders strike twice, the Comanche warrior realizes the cargo's true danger: those rifles could arm hostile tribes and spark a war that would devastate all Indian peoples. Now, as treachery closes in from within the wagon-train itself, Straight Arrow must race against time to prevent the perilous cargo from reaching the wrong hands.
When Throwing Hand, a Lipan war chief, captures the lovely Dawn Girl from the Cheyennes, Red Hawk and his friend Spotted Elk ride to rescue her—only to find themselves trapped in the enemy camp. With the help of a well-aimed knife and quick thinking involving tumbleweeds and fire, the three must escape Throwing Hand's pursuit and make it back across the sacred boundary of the waterhole.
