Wild Bill Hickok

Wild Bill Hickok rides scout for a famous general inspecting frontier forts in 1868, drawing the attention of Kiowa war-chief Wolf and his warriors, who see the general as a prize worth trading to Washington for their lands. When Wild Bill discovers the Kiowas planning a coordinated ambush at Tongue Rock, he races to warn the cavalry detail—and when the attack comes, his legendary marksmanship becomes the only thing standing between the general and capture. It's a tense race against overwhelming odds across the sage flats, with one scout's guns against an entire war party bent on revenge.

After the Creek War and 1812, Colonel Davy Crockett trades uniform for wilderness and makes Tennessee his hunting ground, earning the fearsome title "The Ringtailed Roarer" through a string of harrowing scrapes—from wrestling a massive bear to battling the treacherous rapids of the Mississippi. His legend grows so wild that the frontier folk demand he run for Congress, and though Washington politicians scoff at the backwoods newcomer, Crockett soon sets them straight with tales as tall as his reputation. When the call of adventure finally proves stronger than politics, he hangs up his seat and heads for Texas, ready for whatever frontier glory awaits.
