Custer's Next to Last Stand
When Ernest Pratt's longtime friend, Libbie Custer—the wife of Major General George Armstrong Custer—seeks the one-time journalist's influence in restoring her husband's command. Pratt instead discovers it's more crucial to use Nicodemus Legend's persona to thwart Custer's assassination.

6
Knee-High Noon
On behalf of a seemingly desperate mother, Pratt assumes the role of Nicodemus Legend to persuade her truant son to return to school. The novelist soon learns the woman is really a determined ""stage mother"" who wants to exploi her obnoxious son's association with the hero.

The Gospel According to Legend
Mordechai, a charlatan evangelist, arrives in Sheridan and bilks credulous farmers of their money and land by predicting the end of the world.

8
Bone of Contention
Legend winds up in the middle of a feud between competing paleontologists who think they've made the find of the century in Sheridan—the only problem is the dinosaur bones may be buried directly under Pratt's favorite watering hole, the Silver King. So Legend faces not only the frenzy of the fossil diggers, but the conflict between Creationists and Darwinians.
9
Revenge of the Herd
To promote his newest book, Pratt is asked to serve as a buffalo hunting guide for a group of German publishers who believe he actually is the heroic character, Nicodemus Legend. Repelled by the notion of hunting, he and Bartok, along with some Arapaho Indians, devise a mythical, mechanical buffalo ""monster"" to ward off the hunters—but only attract more to the area.

When Pratt is wrongly accused of murder and lands on the Sheriff's Most Wanted List, he learns that with his famous face, there's nowhere to hide.
