A Prevaricaded Parade
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the dusty cow town of Paradise, a Fourth of July celebration becomes a comic test of civic pride, frontier bravado, and spectacularly poor judgment. Henry Clay Peck and a committee of quarrelsome cowhands set out to organize a proper parade, only to unleash rival ambitions, romantic misunderstandings, a runaway automobile, and more confusion than patriotism. W. C. Tuttle’s boisterous Western farce captures the tall-tale humor, dialect, and rough-edged charm of early twentieth-century cowboy fiction.
