This issue is an anthology containing two stories. "The Frontier Fort Mystery!" features Wild Bill Hickok investigating a mysterious attack on frontier forts, with clues involving flaming arrows, dead soldiers, and a puzzle he must solve with help from allies, leading him to uncover a plan involving mysterious incursions into the adobe mountains. "U.S. Marines in Action!" depicts fifty U.S. Marines facing overwhelming odds of five thousand enemy soldiers in Korea, relying on Yankee ingenuity and the leadership of a courageous battle-master to survive their trapped position and aid the 5th Marine Division retreating from the sea while evading enemy forces.

The Silver-Mad Traitor
6 pp · Western-Frontier
Wild Bill Hickok

In April 1870, Wild Bill Hickok uncovers a ruthless scheme by silver-obsessed desperado Bart Jerris to intercept a treaty messenger and open Cheyenne territory to prospectors—all so he and his gang can claim the hills' riches. When the treaty goes missing and silver hunters flood into protected lands, Hickok must stop Jerris's plot before greed ignites a war between settlers and the Cheyenne tribes who've signed a government agreement to keep them.

The Frontier Fort Mystery
7 pp · Western-Frontier
Wild Bill Hickok

When Sioux raiders reduce three frontier forts to ash—leaving behind a gruesome puzzle of dead soldiers with no visible wounds—the U.S. Army dispatches Wild Bill Hickok as guide to lead a cavalry detail into the Medicine Bow Mountains and uncover the truth. As the troopers race to Fort Carson under siege, Wild Bill must piece together clues from old ledgers and a poisoned dog to identify a traitor in their midst before the fort falls and more men die from an enemy far more dangerous than arrows. The mystery deepens when two suspects emerge, and only Wild Bill's keen wits can separate truth from deception in the thick of battle.

U. S. Marines In Action
7 pp · War

Fifty Marines hold the line at the Honshu River against thousands of enemy forces in Korea, armed with nothing but determination and quick thinking. When the enemy attempts to cross, the rear guard springs an ingenious trap that turns the odds temporarily in their favor. It's a tense battle of wits and firepower where American ingenuity becomes the Marines' greatest weapon.
