For example, Tammy sees that the extinction of the Indians in an alternate space-time continuum has little effect on her life in Ohio however; she quickly decides to set things straight.

It is hoped that Ned Buntline will write his famous dime novel, Buffalo Bill, the King of the Border Men, which was instrumental in romanticizing the West and eventually saving the American Indians from extinction. At Fort McPherson Tammy brings Hickok, Cody, and Ned Buntline together for the first time. Then, she takes the reader off in a new direction in her quest to save the Indians. She soon finds herself and her delightful companions in Washington D.C. talking to slave rights leaders and eventually President Grant. She explains that the Indians had been overlooked during the civil war and that it is time to set the West in a new direction. Up until Tammy appeared, the nation had set upon a course of "Indian removal" in order to solve the "Indian problem." For her most difficult task, she must find a way to bring the Apache nation and Cochise to the peace table. She and her little critter friends find that they must save Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok from certain death as they attempt to deliver mail across Apache lands.

This is the show that toured the world for decades and changed the way the world felt about the American Indians.
