His Brother’s Keeper
In the scorched reaches of Bitter Water Valley, a sheriff famed for his unbending devotion to the law sets out across the desert on a manhunt that becomes something far more intimate and unforgiving. As old grievances, family wounds, and frontier justice converge, the badlands strip every conviction to its core. W. C. Tuttle crafts a stark Western of moral conflict, harsh landscape, and the perilous line between duty and obsession.
A Military Interlude
In the brutal winter encampment at Valley Forge, a battle-worn sergeant struggles between private duty and public honor as hunger, cold, and disillusion test the Continental Army’s resolve. Set against the hardships of the American Revolution, this tense historical tale explores conscience, sacrifice, and the fragile line between rebellion and loyalty. Ernest Haycox delivers a stark, atmospheric portrait of endurance under pressure, where one soldier’s choices carry the weight of a nation in the making.
All Wool
Hired as unlikely shepherds in an unfamiliar stretch of range country, cowpunchers Zeb Whitney and Ricky Saunders quickly learn that guarding three thousand sheep for top wages comes with reasons their easygoing boss failed to mention. A stray bullet, a vanished herder, and a sudden blast in the night convince them they've blundered into the middle of a simmering range war between cattlemen and sheep owners. Outgunned, out-supplied, and subsisting on half-cooked mutton, the two saddle-tramps answer each new calamity with wisecracks, card games, and a stubborn refusal to be run off. A rollicking frontier yarn of grit, gallows humor, and partnership tested by dust, dynamite, and the worst cooking west of the Rockies.
A Battle Piece
On the eve of the Battle of Long Island, a weary New England sergeant finds himself marching beside proud Maryland troops divided by region, class, and temperament but bound for the same brutal test. As dawn breaks, suspicion and bravado give way to the chaos of one of the Revolution’s earliest major clashes. Ernest Haycox turns a single engagement into a vivid study of courage, prejudice, and hard-won fellowship under fire. This powerful historical short story captures the human cost and shared spirit at the birth of the American nation.
The Lovable Liar
In a rough cattle town at the edge of the frontier, two drifting cowboys arrive just as suspicion, old grudges, and a string of brazen crimes begin to tighten their grip on the range. As loyalties blur and danger gathers around ranchers, lawmen, and outcasts alike, the men find themselves drawn into a restless country where wit can be as vital as a gun. Wry, atmospheric, and sharply observed, this Western blends frontier mystery with dry humor and hard-riding adventure.
