A WARNING WORTH A FORTUNE A MIILION DOLLARS IS QUITE A REWARD; BUT NOT TOO MUCH WHEN A MANS LIFE IS AT STAKE By: BURL HUNT Friends, this is a great short story about a Kiowa Indian girl that inherited one million dollars. She was the daughter of the great Indian Chief Black Wolf when she heard of a plot to murder a rich Texas rancher named John Dillon. Since Dillon was a friend of her Dad, Princess Annie Trueheart warned Dillon in advance of the attempt on his life. The warning was just in time and saved his life. Later, as a reward – John Dillon an Irish emigrant left her his ranch and a million dollars. The author states that the inheritance was supervised by the Bishop of Monterey. Here is the rest of the story. Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine.. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the inheritance of the daughter of Chief Black Wolf of the Kiowa Indians are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort.
