In A Leap Life we finally hear from Joe again. When he first left the fort he finds a trail and cautiously follows it. After awhile, Joe finally finds out that Indians were on the trail and thought they were warriors on a hunting adventure. To his dismay they were actually setting up a trap for him and six warriors cornered Joe and his no-named horse. Having no option but to fight or flee and face possible death from a fall off a cliff, Joe coolly kills a few Indians and turns toward the cliff and jumps.
In Searching for Joe's Scalp Joe starts to really show us and the Indians that he is one tough cookie and that a little fall is no going to kill him. When Joe regroups from the fall he overhears the Indians say, "Get pale-face scalp." Normally, someone recovering from such a horrfic fall would stay hidden or try to escape, but not Joe, he's going to let the Indians try and get his scalp.
