!!''Fort Navajo'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AlmostDeadGuy: Stanton is dying, but he manages to stay alive long enough to tell Blueberry and Graig that his son was kidnapped.
* AntiHero: The protagonist is not Graig, the idealistic officer, but Blueberry, a gambler who cheats on poker and drinks a lot.
* {{Foil}}: Graig to Blueberry. They are both young lieutenants in the US cavalry, but Graig is idealistic, chivalrous, disciplined, unexperienced and foolhardy, while Blueberry is jaded, undisciplined and wise.
