Synopsis

Before Spaniards introduced horses, Strong Bow finds raiders riding antelopes (pronghorns) to loot villages.

The antelope raiders are captured, and Strong Bow moves on.

Synopsis

Lt Dan Foley is pulled of his current assignment, finding rifles stolen by Indians, and ordered to protect an archaeologist digging at a mesa. Comanches arrive and the heroes run. But the archaeologist insists on returning for his "most precious discovery", so they crawl back. Dan is captured and fights until the 5th Cavalry arrives. And they find the stolen rifles. The discovery that almost cost their lives? A reindeer bone that proves "the Ojibway Indians crossed the Humboldt River before 1250!"
