Swift Arrow #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSwift Arrow encounters conflict involving a hermit who has found gold and gets caught between bullets, bees, and troublemakers seeking the precious metal. In a separate story, Little Turtle, a Native American character, participates in tribal hunts and races, facing dangers including wolves and competitive challenges with other tribe members while the narrative reflects on themes of parting and tribal bonds.
When Swift Arrow catches his young warrior Little Bull shooting at eagles, the chief's stern rebuke hints at a deeper bond—one rooted in a medicine dream from his youth. As Lone Rider presses for the tale, Swift Arrow recalls the day he saved a fallen eaglet in the mountains, only to be attacked by its parents and left unconscious on a perilous ledge, where a vision promised him an eagle would one day repay the kindness. That promise becomes flesh and blood when Swift Arrow faces mortal danger on the way back to his village, and the sky itself answers his need.
A hermit content to pan modest amounts of gold for his simple needs finds his solitude shattered when rumors of a strike attract greedy fortune hunters to his land. Desperate to reclaim his peace, he devises an unconventional solution involving hornets and a carefully orchestrated confrontation with the law. This frontier tale delivers genuine humor and ingenuity as the old-timer outsmarts his unwanted invaders.
The Lone Rider and Bright Feather discover an Indian lying near death in the desert, but their mercy mission becomes a deadly trap sprung by the murderous renegade Black Bull, who uses the helpless stranger as bait for an elaborate ambush. Captured and bound on a clifftop while Black Bull plots to destroy the cavalry soldiers who will inevitably come to rescue him, the Lone Rider must rely on quick thinking and sheer nerve to warn his companions away from the impending slaughter.
When Little Turtle was a boy, he formed a friendship with Mary Shawnessy from a nearby white settlement, but the two were separated when his people were moved far away. Years later, as a grown man, Little Turtle finds himself caught between his tribe's desire for war—led by the ambitious Wolf Claw—and his belief in the peace that has been made with the whites. Racing against time to prevent bloodshed, Little Turtle must decide where his loyalty truly lies.
