Heroic ride to rescue in a Sitting Bull tale on the frontier
An old trail tale recounts Doc Middleton and Helen Raymond surviving a Sioux camp scene near Sitting Bull. A daring rescue unfolds as Middleton fires through the night to reach a captured damsel, then escapes atop a horse with the girl toward Fort Sheridan. The story blends legend with a Missouri childhood meeting and a St Louis marriage.
