Readers of this exciting action series are already well acquainted with the Pony Rider Boys to need a formal introduction. As told in "The Pony Rider Boys in the Rockies," the lads had set out from their homes in Missouri for a summer's vacation in the saddle. The first volume detailed how they hunted big game and how they finally discovered the Lost Claim, which they won after fighting a battle with the mountaineers, thus earning for themselves quite a fortune. In "The Pony Rider Boys in Montana," the scene shifts to the old Custer Trail, the battle ground of one of the most tragic events in American history. The story describes how Tad Butler overheard a plot to stampede and kill a flock of many thousand sheep; how after experiencing many hardships, he finally carried the news to the owner of the herd; then later, participated in the battle between the cowmen and sheep herders, in which the latter emerged victorious. It recalls how the Pony Rider Boys were captured by the Blackfeet Indians and taken to their mountain retreat, where with a young companion he was held until they made their escape with the assistance of an Indian maiden; how they were pursued by the warriors whose bullets whisked over their heads.

The slender lad lifted the big mountain boy clear of the ground, hurled him over his head, and still clinging to the wrist, brought him down with a smashing jolt, flat on his back in the middle of the village street.
