* MagnificentBastard: [[NobleSavage Red Stick]] is a ruthless, but cunning American Indian leader who opposes western expansion. Unifying multiple tribes, his force proves a match for [[UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson General Jackson's]] forces despite [[RockBeatLaser inferior weapons]] by using the frontier's environments to their advantage. When Davy Crockett leads the army to his main camp, Red Stick defeats Davy Crockett in single combat, then orders a strategic retreat, saving many of his men by expertly ordering them to duck at just the right moment to avoid a volley of gunfire. Though many of his followers are killed and several other chiefs accept the US's offer of peace, Red Stick continues the war, evading Major Norton's forces for months by leading them into a swamp where the Indians can easily hide, but Norton's forces catch swamp fever and are unable to fight. Only Davy Crockett and George Russel are able to find Red Stick's encampment, but Russel gets captured. Red Stick [[KillItWithFire nearly burns Russel at the stake]], before Crockett challenges him to a duel as per Indian law. In the tomahawk duel, Red Stick gets the upper hand numerous times though skill and guile before eventually losing. Davy Crockett spares him, though, and [[DefeatMeansFriendship convinces Red Stick of his own honor and to accept a peace for the good of his tribe.]]
