The stories vary widely in quality: first there's \"Old Chief Wood'nhead,\" involving a cigar-store Indian who quite literally guards the entrance to an old general store and comes to life to avenge the murders of the elderly couple (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/s\/George%20Kennedy\"\u003eGeorge Kennedy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/s\/Dorothy%20Lamour\"\u003eDorothy Lamour\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) who owned it.
