Dirty Work for Doughgod
By Tuttle, W. C.
When the trustees of Paradise decree that no female schoolteacher will ever set foot in their cow town again, four well-meaning cowpunchers of the Cross J ranch hatch a scheme to intercept the lady arriving by train. What follows is a whirlwind of runaway buckboards, mistaken identities, blistered feet, and back-country mayhem as the self-styled rescuers stumble from one calamity into the next. W. C. Tuttle's rollicking tale of frontier chivalry gone hilariously wrong first appeared in Adventure Magazine in 1919, showcasing the tall-tale humor and colorful vernacular that made his cowboy yarns beloved by pulp readers. A classic comic Western where the best intentions in Paradise lead straight to trouble.
