Loco Color in Loco-Land
By Tuttle, W. C.
Two refined authors travel to a rugged Montana town in search of authentic Old West inspiration, only to discover that local color is far livelier than any reference book can promise. As Orville Chatterton and William Suggs chase outlaw lore, frontier romance, and literary realism, their genteel assumptions collide with cowboys, sheriffs, horse thieves, and the unforgiving humor of Piperock. W. C. Tuttle's comic Western delivers a fast-moving satire of bookish ambition, frontier mythmaking, and the peril of mistaking imagination for experience.
