Following up on RAR #68, here's an extremely minor example of a female chief from a 1957 TOMAHAWK, for a story winsomely entitled, "Revenge of the Girl Chief." But it's such a mediocre story-- involving a young squaw, Evening Star, who takes over leading her tribe when her father is murdered-- that making the daughter into a son would have made no structural difference. I'd like to think that somewhere in the thirty years of the TOMAHAWK feature-- at least in its Revolutionary War setting-- that there was at least one female "Real American" better than this one. But I found this one by chance and am not likely to go looking for a better candidate.
