The story

Henry Stanley is a fearless newspaper reporter ready to do whatever it takes to get a story, no matter how dangerous. Colonel Grimes tells two peace commissioners sent from Washington DC that he cannot permit them to try to contact the Indians of the Wyoming Territory of 1870, as it would be suicidal, only to have Stanley emerge from the wilderness, escorted by a band of the natives and his guide, Jeff Slocum. When Stanley returns to New York City, his employer, New York Herald publisher James Gordon Bennett Jr., gives him another near-impossible assignment.
