Shepherds for Science
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the sun-blasted hills of Yaller Rock County, two reluctant drifters find themselves deputized into the least desirable duty in the West: guarding a disputed flock of sheep. Their misadventures multiply when a pair of earnest Eastern professors arrive to investigate whether shepherding truly drives men mad. Blending frontier dialect, slapstick calamity, and sharp comic timing, this classic Western yarn turns range rivalry and scientific curiosity into a riotous test of nerve, pride, and common sense.
