This is the same artist as on Tonto and Sergeant Preston.
Notice the accuracy of the posed figures and details of objects. That is because Giolitti took pictures of himself and his friends dressed like the characters of the strip, and used it as a guideline for the final drawing. He had photographs, books, magazines and objects used for backgrounds and artifacts. He also had models of real weapons.

| Content | Genre: Historical; Western-frontier | Characters: Pawnee chief; Pawnee brave 1 (dialogue); Pawnee brave 2 (dialogue); Pawnee brave 3 (dialogue); other Pawnee braves (pictured); Stone Hawk (a Pawnee); Gentle Deer (his wife); Demon Bear (a big bear) |
| Notes | This is the second of Du Bois's four-episode series about the marriage of White Wolf the Pawnee and Moon Maiden of the Onondaga.
Written as a ten page story "White Wolf Sets a Trap," it had been editorially altered. It is now eleven pages, and, while the protagonist remains Pawnee, his name has been changed to Stone Hawk. The tribe are now also Pawnee instead of Onondaga, and Moon Maiden's name has been changed to Gentle Deer.
Du Bois identifiers mark it clearly as his, and the contents of the story tally with both the title as originally written, and the ongoing story of the other three episodes.
