This is the story of a group of Americans traveling into the frontier West in order to find Sunset Settlement. While the men of the group were hunting one day they come upon a mysterious fellow cloaked in all black mounted upon an all white horse. The fellow leads the men back to their camp before nightfall and vanishes, leaving the people of the camp in awe about the man.
Later on the men are introduced to the young man, Joe, after he secretly guides the group out of harms way towards Sunset Settlement. He warns the group of a possible Indian trap and helps the group fool the Indians and halt their advance on the settlers.
I'm not entirely sure the purpose of this story, but it seems to have been anti-Indian propaganda which was oh-so present at this time.
