Indexer Notes
Very crude artwork, small clumsy men with dough-nut ears and awkward hands and movements, awful wrinkles in clothes. Only the horses are OK. These should be some clues to who the artist might be.

Indexer Notes
This is Pete Alvarado with faces with arched cheekbones and squinty eyes, and figures with little awkward movements and hands. Compares with some Whitman books with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry.

Indexer Notes
Fred Harman used ghost writers and artists on most in the comic books, but he is supposed to have done some features himself, like the script on Wigwam Ways. Info "Comics of the American West" by Maurice Horn.
Not signed, but looking at the nostrils of the horse points to Lenox, as the art in general.
