Fifty-Fifty with Bonnie
By Tuttle, W. C.
When a letter goes astray and two refined Eastern ladies arrive at the Seven-A ranch with six trunks and grand expectations, the ornery cowhands of Hank Padden's outfit find themselves on the receiving end of a misunderstanding nobody bargained for. Chuck Warner, a bow-legged jokester with a gift for stretching the truth, can't resist spinning a few tall tales to amuse himself and rattle his trail-mates—particularly the long, slow-witted Swede left in charge while the boss is away. As schemes pile atop schemes and the prospect of a dozen marriageable girls looms on the horizon, the lonesomeness of ranch life gives way to a roaring tangle of mistaken identities, hollered conversations, and sagebrush mischief. Set on the Montana range of a bygone era, this rollicking yarn from pulp-fiction favorite W. C. Tuttle delivers cowboy comedy at full gallop.
