The story leans a bit too heavily on the "savage, superstitious redskins" trope for my tastes. Once more I'm struck by how durable the Buck Jones franchise was. By this time he'd been gone for 15 years, but he lived on in comics on both sides of the Atlantic.

Jones died in 1942, one of the 429 victims of the disastrous Coconut Grove nightclub fire. Here's a bit of trivia: his daughter's second husband was Nicholas Firfires, a celebrated Western painter who did both covers and interior art for many Dell comics.
