Born a Burden
George Danger Black was the illegitimate son of a missionary worker and brothel girl. The missionary worker was working closely with a local tribe of Indians near Bridge Port, Arizona. This frontier town was in need of help since the Indians were trespassing on the local town and stealing from the locals. While the missionary was there, he met a young brothel girl who would come to him often to confess her sins. She became attracted to the man and soon the two fell in love. One night of passion was all it took to bring George into existence and to end his parents' relationship. The young girl, not old enough to handle the pains of birth, died during labor and the boy was given to the missionary who was present during the birth. He named him George, after his own father, and gave him the middle name of Danger because that was what he was to him.
Fearing for his reputation, the missionary fled to the Indians and pleaded with them to take the boy. Not understanding quite what was happening, the cheif took the child out of respect for the missionary because he had been the only "pale face" that had been kind to them. After the Indains agreed to take him, the missionary returned to the town. Several weeks later, the young girl's midwife told the town who the father was of the girl's baby. Enraged at the missionary and at what he had done with the boy, the townsfolk lynched him and hanged him from the church bell-tower. Soon the town had agreed to get George back "from the clutches of the heathen injuns."
Clouds rolled in three days after the lynching of the missionary and rain began to fall on the desert plain between Bridge Port and the Indian village. A posse of 24 men galloped on their horses to the village, armed to the teeth. The Indians were unaware of their adversaries approach and were taken completely off guard. The fight that ensued was bloody and vicious. Women and children were slaughtered and the Indian soldiers were cut down quickly by the "pale-face" six-shooters. The cheif and three of his guards headed for the plains away from the village with his family as well as George. The village was burned to the ground and the posse was victorious. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to find George and figured he had been killed by the Indians.
George however, was riding along on the horse of the cheif. After several days of hard riding, the family and the three guards stopped at a creek outside of Whisper Creek, Nevada. While they rested they were ambushed by a tribe of hostile local Indians and held captive. After inspecting their prisoners, the captors were shocked to find a "pale-face cub" with some of their kind. They asked if they had stolen it and the cheif replied that he had not. They asked if they were going to kill it and the cheif again replied that they were not going to. Enraged at the "traitors to their blood" they killed the chief's wife and daughters and two of his guards. They then took their horses and supplies, all except their arrows and bows, and left them to wander on foot, trying to survive in the harsh desert.
The Cheif and the guard walked for days, trying to feed George with milk from animals they would catch and water they found. Eventually, the cheif died of lack of food and exhaustion from the long arduous journey. The guard then began to lose faith and slowly grow more and more depressed because of the loss of his cheif. The burden of caring for George was too much for him to deal with along with the death of his cheif, which soon drove him insane. One morning, he laid George, now six months old, on the edge of a cliff and placed his bow next to him. Then, after saying a prayer of safe passage to George, he leapt off the cliff and killed himself. George was found a day later by a hunter of another tribe. The man was curious as to how the infant had gotten there and took him back to his village. The village was much more cultured in the ways of white people because they had gotten along with their neighbors in the town of Lone Ridge, Nevada. The hunter was put in charge of the care for George and he looked after him like his own son.
