Firehair

Tehama Firehair was a fictional character created by John Starr and Lee Elias, originally published in a number of Western-themed titles through Fiction House. Debuting in Ranger Comics #21 (1945), she occupied the cover spot throughout the late forties and was spun-off into her own magazine on two separate occasions. The character lapsed into the public domain during the 1950s, eventually turning up in the Landmark Universe as a supporting character in the Night Raiders storyline.

Origin
Lynn Cabot was the daughter of a wealthy Boston businessman killed by outlaws posing as Native Americans. Found by Little Ax, son of Chief Tehama of the Sioux tribe, she was given the adoptive name Firehair, eventually becoming an expert archer, hunter and tracker. Excelling in every aspect of tribal life, she rode a horse named Dead-Eye and worked as a fur trapper to earn a living. She would protect the Natives from anyone who dared to try and exploit or harm them.
