In the high passes of the Rockies, the legend himself has been caught. Buffalo Bill, the scout who never missed and the showman who tamed the West, finds himself entrapped by enemies who have layered murder, mystery, and kidnapping into a trap designed specifically for him. His loyal partner Bart Angell must watch his back as the two pursue the villains who have taken the young Myra Wilton, racing against time through treacherous mountain terrain where a single wrong step means death. Prentiss Ingraham, who wrote hundreds of Buffalo Bill adventures for the dime novel presses of the early 1900s, understood exactly what his readers wanted: action that never stops, villains who are pure evil, and a hero whose courage never wavers. This is pulp adventure at its most elemental, a story that moves like a fast horse through dangerous country. The plot coils around murder accusations, hidden identities, and a rescue that seems impossible until Bill's rifle speaks the final word. For readers who want their entertainment straight up with no sophistication required, this is frontier mythology in its purest form. Buffalo Bill here is not the historical figure but the dream of him: the fastest gun, the surest eye, the man who always rides in to save the day.
