Honest to Doughgod
By Tuttle, W. C.
In W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale, three musically inclined cowpunchers from the Cross-J find their loyalties tested when a new schoolteacher arrives in Paradise. Hen Peck, Muley Bowles, and Telescope Tolliver stumble through romance, rivalry, poker, poetry, and frontier misunderstandings with more enthusiasm than wisdom. Told in lively cowboy dialect, this archival Western farce captures the rough humor, tall-tale charm, and antic spirit of early twentieth-century magazine fiction.
