Buffalo Bill's Death Message

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. Buffalo Bill stands at the center of a mythic West where scouts, outlaws, Indians, and frontier peril become fast-moving adventure. These tales, associated with Colonel Prentiss Ingraham and joined by the rugged series of Diamond Dick and Ted Strong, promise wholesome excitement through cattle drives, rustlers, ranch wars, desert hardship, and dramatic showdowns. The opening also pays tribute to William F. Cody himself, tracing his rise from scout and cavalryman to national hero, showman, and enduring symbol of the American frontier. In Buffalo Bill's Death Message, that legend is tested by mystery. While staying at the St. Cloud Hotel in rough Klamath, Buffalo Bill is awakened by repeated tapping and finds an ominous note pinned to his door with a gold skull-and-crossbones pin, signed "Klamath John." With loyal Cudjo wary and comic Irish neighbor Mike Flynn eager to help, Buffalo Bill decides to trap the trapper and follow the trail to Poplar Bend. From a tense midnight meeting and a strange pursuit through deceptive rock formations, the action plunges into a hidden underground chamber, where an Indian mummy, an unread Aztec inscription, and a secret elevator lead to a desperate search for escape.
