Pike pencils per Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. Previous indexer credited Syd Shores on pencils and George Klein on inks. Bernstein script per Martin O'Hearn: http://martinohearn.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-bernstein-black-rider.html Black Rider battles prejudice when townspeople attack a wagon train of "Morman" (i.e., Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) settlers bound from Ohio to Utah. He opines that the townspeople "forgot all the teachings of the Bible," and tells them that "America wouldn't be the land of liberty without the different kinds of people, races, and religions who came from all over the worlds to live in peace and democracy!".

Story Notes
Pike pencils per Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr, who notes: "This also is early Pike, not Hartley. Very different from first two strips." Michael J. Vassallo via the Timely-Atlas Facebook page, adds: "I absolutely see Al Hartley. The woman on page 2 in panel 2 and then again in panel 7 is Hartley. Is he inking Pike? I don't know. On page 3 the same woman shows no sign of Hartley at all. I have it now as Pike (with Hartley)." Hartley pencil credits from Michael J. Vassallo (July 31, 2005).
