The Dan Brand--White Indian stories originally appeared as a backup feature in early-1950s issues of Durango Kid. When our country was young, the truly great Americans were the intrepid pioneers of the backwoods, which were thick and sown with sudden death, the greatest of the backwoodsmen was Dan Brand! Brand is a colonial-era Philadelphia socialite who travails the Western wilderness to revenge the murder of his fiancee. After a battle to the death with a bear, Brand is found barely alive by Chief Great Eagle and his young son, Tipi, who nurse him back to health. Brand stays on to learn the ways of the forest and of the Indian. Peter Bradford, the murderer of Brand's fiancee reappears as a rum runner and guns dealer, to kill Great Eagle. Brand avenges the deaths of his fiance and Great Eagle.
