When the Pilgrims Hit Piperock
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the rowdy, dry town of Piperock, cantankerous cowboy Ike Harper finds himself roped into the town’s first Thanksgiving celebration—complete with Pilgrim tableaux, reluctant Indians, and a pair of raffled turkeys. As tempers flare and old grudges simmer, Ike navigates a world where prohibition has turned whiskey into raspberry juice and every festivity threatens to erupt into chaos. A sharp-witted, darkly humorous Western tale of small-town absurdity and the perils of forced merriment.
