The Riflemen of the Miami

Four rugged frontiersmen stalk the banks of the Miami, each a master of the wild with a rifle at the ready. Led by the steady Lewis Dernor, the band includes his brother George, the quiet sharpshooter Dick Allmat, and the irascible yet lucky Tom O’Hara, whose short stature and limp belie a keen woodcraft that has kept him alive among the woods for a decade. Their bond is forged in the untamed wilderness, where survival depends on silence, speed, and unerring aim.

When a small party of native warriors slips through a clearing, dragging a desperate captive, the riflemen must decide whether to intervene or remain hidden. Tension crackles as they weigh the risks of a rescue against the ever‑present danger of being discovered. The opening scene sets a vivid picture of frontier life, camaraderie, and the moral stakes that will drive their perilous pursuit.
