Synopsis
Dan returns to his home town of Philadelphia, in order to raise money and goods to sustain General Washington's forces during the coming winter. He meets with derision and prejudice among his former friends and neighbors, but Solomon offers all his worldly wealth for the cause. When Dan and Tipi arrive at his house that evening they find he has been attacked and the money stolen. The same glove which slapped Tipi round the face earlier reveals that the culprit was D'Arcy. Finding him gloating in a tavern with friends, Dan runs him through with a sword then brings the money back to Washington.

Indexer Notes

Sequence and some data added by Greg Theakston, 2002-05-29 (Per Sandell ed.)
Many panels show evidence of different inkers, hence the inks credit.
Script previously credited to Gardner Fox, but Frazetta himself told Robert R. Barrett that "Ray Krank, who was also the editor at Magazine Enterprises, wrote the scripts." ("The Complete Frazetta White Indian" (Vanguard Productions, 2011), page 7).
