Note: Kee-To, Iron Hand is the one Sioux leader white soldiers have never been able to corner or capture. His daring raids and uncanny ability to avoid being behind bars have made him a priority for the cavalry officers to find and jail. But Kee-To has the blood of fighting ancestors and their mystical whispers to him to keep him free. He would rather die than let the horse solders pen up his people behind fences under guard. That climatic battle finally came in the Sioux's mass exodus to reach Canada and safety. Can he prevail one last time?

Note: When a band of Apache Mescalero are forced from their homeland, Preston Kewle sees Treaty Mesa as a well-situated base for his ever-expanding life of crime. So he sets up a home - but finds he is tied to the place by a commitment that is more burdensome than he expected. Eventually, the powerful General William Newton gets word of Kewle's activities, and for intensely personal reasons, steps in to find out the true reason for Kewle's presence in the mesa. He summons Jack Games, and issues him with an ultimatum - either undertake a rescue mission to Treaty Mesa, or spend the rest of his life branded an outlaw. Locating and inveigling himself into a gang of owl-hoots, and riding across the Lizard Loma badlands to locate stolen money and supplies, is almost regular work for Jack. But staying alive long enough to find and return what General Newton believes is rightfully his is more difficult.
