Unless Fargo can get the Doctor and his nurse to join him with medicine and expertise,and face both outlaws and Indians in attempting to reach the village;it seems the disease that has been transmitted to them;will wipe out the villiage. This results in a fast action story with pleanty of interesting characters and odds of success which appear overwhelming;but you know our hero is going to come out on top;regardless of what is thrown at him. There is not much in the way of historical content,the conversation is not particularly colorful;nevertheless it is a good saga.
