Local Options in Loco-Land
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the rough-and-tumble frontier town of Yaller Rock County, two grizzled prospectors—Dirty Shirt Jones and Ike Harper—find themselves entangled in a high-stakes battle over local option and the demon rum. As a pint-sized, squeaky-voiced shepherd runs for sheriff on a prohibition platform, saloonkeepers, preachers, and outlaws clash in a rowdy, whiskey-fueled showdown where no one’s morals—or teeth—are safe. A raucous Western tale of politics, vice, and the fight for the soul of the Old West.
