☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeWild Bill Hickok confronts a band of Sioux warriors led by Crazy Horse who are planning to attack a white settlement on the Tongue River. After an initial skirmish where the Sioux capture a white woman, Wild Bill helps negotiate her rescue and the Sioux withdraw, with Crazy Horse acknowledging Wild Bill's wisdom. In a second story, "Cornell Fighting Co.," Wild Bill assists Frank Jareman against the schemes of rival businessman Trump Evans, who is attempting to interfere with Jareman's mining operation contract by sabotaging ore wagon deliveries and threatening to recruit other gunmen to take control of the territory.
When a band of masked outlaws raids a mining camp in 1872, Wild Bill Hickok steps in to stop them—but the gang's leader, Alf Newell, escapes with some of his men. Days later, a fortune-seeker named Eli Comer becomes an unwitting target, shot and chased through the wilderness by the masked marauders, forcing him to flee for his life. After a chance encounter with a friendly miner leads him to Marshal Hickok's office, Eli reveals an ingenious way to help identify the gang's elusive leader.
Chief Crazy Horse begins as a man of peace, committed to honoring treaties with the white soldiers—until a devastating betrayal transforms him forever. When two of his own warriors are executed by the army despite saving a white woman's life, Crazy Horse's resolve hardens into something far more dangerous: the strategic mind that will lead the Sioux nations into open war. This is the story of how one man's thirst for justice becomes the catalyst for the legendary ambush that will be remembered as the Fetterman Massacre.
When a stranger named Bill Masters arrives in Massacre Creek and allies with the Cornells against the iron-fisted Trump Evans and his stranglehold on the town's freighting business, he sets in motion a desperate race against time—the Cornells must deliver ten wagon loads of ore within six days to save their contract, but Evans will stop at nothing to crush them. With ambushes, sabotage, and growing tension building toward a final confrontation, Masters and his newfound partners prepare to challenge Evans's monopoly on the lawless town.
