Buffalo Bill's Bold Play; Or, The Tiger of the Hills

The novel follows a roster of frontier figures drawn into gold‑rush and small‑town drama: a boastful miner's wedding invitation sparks suspicion, secret riches and strange disappearances lead to investigations by a detective and daring raids, while outlaws, local lawmen, scouts, and Indigenous villages intersect in chases, ambushes, escapes, and rescues. Episodes alternate scenes of social gatherings, mining adventures, and violent confrontations, building to revelations about hidden plots, shifting alliances, and the capture and clever escape of prisoners. The narrative emphasizes action, resourcefulness, and the rough justice of a lawless landscape.
