Buffalo Bill Among the Sioux; Or, The Fight in the Rapids
Ingraham, Prentiss
Buffalo Bill, 1846-1917 -- Fiction; Dime novels
The fall of the chief marked the close of the fight.
The Indians had lost heavily, and when they saw the death of Black
Panther the heart was taken out of the remnant of them.
Those who were not lying dead or wounded on the prairie turned to flee;
and, as they did so, the sound of a bugle proclaimed the arrival on the
scene of Captain Meinhold and his men--too late to take part in the
fight, but just in time to assist in the pursuit, at the end of which
few indeed of the Sioux were left alive.
Little more of the story remains to be told.
The defeat and almost total annihilation of the Bear clan kept the
rest of the Sioux nation quiet for some time to come, and the peaceful
and generous-minded Chief Running Water assisted in that task, ruling
over his tribe in prosperity and honor for many years, and maintaining
a close friendship with Buffalo Bill, who visited his village on many
occasions--but was careful never to take any more whisky there.
As for the brave and cheerful Joe Congo, he obtained employment as a
cook in the officers’ mess at Fort McPherson, and he was never tired of
telling of the stirring times he had in “Cap’n Runnin’ Water’s” village.
THE END.
No. 177 of the BUFFALO BILL BORDER STORIES, entitled “Buffalo
Bill’s Mystery Box,” by Colonel Prentiss Ingraham, is a thrilling
account of the Moqui Indians on the warpath, and the adventures that
befell the great scout and his followers in quelling them.
WESTERN STORIES ABOUT
BUFFALO BILL
Price, Fifteen Cents
Red-blooded Adventure Stories for Men
There is no more romantic character in American history than William
F. Cody, or as he was internationally known, Buffalo Bill. He, with
Colonel Prentiss Ingraham, Wild Bill Hickok, General Custer, and a few
other adventurous spirits, laid the foundation of our great West.
There is no more brilliant page in American history than the winning of
the West. Never did pioneers live more thrilling lives, so rife with
adventure and brave deeds as the old scouts and plainsmen. Foremost
among these stands the imposing figure of Buffalo Bill.
All of the books in this list are intensely interesting. They were
written by the close friend and companion of Buffalo Bill--Colonel
Prentiss Ingraham. They depict actual adventures which this pair of
hard-hitting comrades experienced, while the story of these adventures
is interwoven with fiction; historically the books are correct.
