Joe.

In Joe at Bay, Joe has found a cave to hide in as he further eludes the Indians. While in the cave Joe cleans his weapons and dries off while waiting for the Indians to return. Eventually the Indians do find him and Joe once again kills a few and scares the rest of them away. The most important part of this chapter is what Joe comes upon when he lights a match in the cave...

In the next chapter it is revealed what Joe saw in the cave. Dead Indians, scores of them. The cave Joe had discovered was a burying ground for deceased Indians. Joe knew the Indians would try to come at him again so he uses the dead Indians as a decoy and sets them up so that they are standing up in a ghostly fashion. Just as Joe suspected the Indians were back and just in time for Joe's shows with the hanging Indian corpses. Joe's show worked and the Indians high tailed it out of the cave.

In Reconnaissance, Joe followed the Indians out of the cave and noticed that there were many more Indians that were waiting for him. They had set up camp down the canyon leaving Joe with no way to escape unless the cave had another exit(which we find out it does). Joe finds a chimney that he can escape out of, but needed something to climb up on in order to reach it. In a quote I found quite funny, Joe says...

"Injuns, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but I think more of myself living than I do of you all dead.

With a ton of strength and courage only fit for a Hollywood star Joe made it out of the cave once and for all.

In Joe's revenge, Joe pulls a fast one on the Indians and manages to not only steal a pony, but cause a massive stampede that once again cause the Indians to lose their herd.
