History
American Frontier
The state of Montana was visited by a number of active western heroes of the time. In the town of Bedrock Creek, the crooked Sheriff Dick Uphill framed Smokey Joe Underhill with a bank robbery. Kid Colt came to Joe's aid and assisted in clearing his name.[1] The Black Rider prevented a war between the local Blackfoot tribe and the soldiers at Fort Nobel.[2]
