COMICS
Firehair is a comic book character who appeared in features in the comic book anthology "Rangers Comics", published by Fiction House. Firehair premiered in Rangers #21 (February, 1945) and appeared in every issue up to #65 (May, 1952). She also appeared in eleven issues of her own quarterly title from Winter, 1948 to Spring, 1952. Issues #3 to #6 were titled Pioneer West Romances featuring Firehair. Writers on the feature are not definitively known, nor is it known who created Firehair. The majority of the art was done by Lee Elias, Bob Lubbers and Robert Webb.
Firehair was originally Lynn Cabot, the mild-mannered daughter of Boston businessman John Cabot. She was accompanying her father west with a caravan of rifles from the town of Plainsville, each traveling under the alias of "Smith". On the prairie, Cabot's wagon train was ambushed by what seemed to be Dakota Indians. Cabot and the trail hands were all killed in the ambush and Lynn was thrown from the overturned wagon and left for dead.
She was found by Little Ax, a member of the Dakota Indian tribe of the area. Little Ax recognized the attackers as white men disguised as Dakotas. Seeing that Lynn was still alive, he brought her back to his tribe and reported the ambush to the tribal leader, his father Tehama. There Lynn was nursed back to health. However, the traumatic experience and the fall induced amnesia in her. At Little Ax's behest, Tehama allows Lynn to stay under his son's care, as she is the only witness who can clear the Dakotas of suspicion in the raid. This all was depicted in Rangers #21, reprinted in Firehair #1.
Under Little Ax's care, Lynn quickly took to the tribal ways and soon grew to be the equal of any member, male or female. Dubbed Firehair by the tribe, she showed abnormal physical prowess and a single-minded ferocity in battle and ultimately surpassed everyone as a warrior. Her skill and judgment make her an advisor to Tehama (Rangers #22).
