Inks: Jon Small

Notes: The artwork here is identical to Jon Small's signed stories in this series, Four Color #290, The Chief #2, and Indian Chief #3. The best clue is the heavy inking, and the close up faces, especially of the chiefs, with many thin inklines along the cheekbones and upper lip. Also the scenery, and movement of the figures are similar.

Title: The Last Cavalier

Synopsis: Reproduction of painting with this commentary: "The Last Cavalier" by Frederick Remington portrays excellently the feeling most people have about the frontiersman. He was the last of the race of gallant, mounted fighters. The artist included his foe, the Indian, among the riders in the picture.
