Blame It on Brother Bill
By Tuttle, W. C.
In W. C. Tuttle’s raucous Western comedy, the woman-shy rancher Jay Bird Whittaker and his Cross-J cowboys find their quiet lives upended by a misread letter, a reckless telegram, and the rumored arrival of two mysterious women from Montana. Set amid the dust, bravado, and comic chaos of Paradise, the story skewers cowboy heroics, small-town ceremony, and romantic imagination with fast-talking frontier wit. A lively tale of mistaken identity and ranch-house mayhem, it captures the tall-tale humor of early twentieth-century Western fiction.
