| Summary | "Buffalo Bill's Best Bet; Or, A Sure Thing Well Won" by Colonel Prentiss Ingraham is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the legendary figure of Buffalo Bill and unfolds with the tense escape of Kent King, a notorious gambler, from his captors. The narrative hints at themes of adventure, betrayal, and the complexities of morality in the face of desperate circumstances. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to the atmosphere of the American frontier, where Kent King finds himself bound and guarded by Poker Dick, a member of the Texas herders who have captured him. In a tense negotiation, King offers riches to secure his freedom, revealing his cunning nature and determination to escape his grim fate. As the plot thickens, it becomes evident that the journey will involve confrontations with both lawmen and gamblers, leading to unexpected alliances and fierce rivalries. The opening sets up a thrilling adventure filled with twists as characters grapple with loyalty, greed, and the struggle for survival on the wild frontier.
