A Prevaricaded Parade
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.
Playing Safe in Piperock
In the rough-and-ready frontier town of Piperock, Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins return from the hills just as the citizens prepare a grand Old Home Week celebration built on the unlikely promise of peace, order, and brotherly love. When a dubious circus-and-carnival outfit enters the mix, Piperock’s best intentions collide with old rivalries, wayward animals, and the town’s talent for turning civic pride into comic chaos. W. C. Tuttle’s exuberant Western farce delivers tall-tale humor, colorful dialect, and a rollicking portrait of a cow-town that can never quite play safe.
Wise Men and a Mule
In the rough-and-tumble town of Piperock, a well-meaning Christmas entertainment turns into a frontier spectacle no committee could safely control. W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale follows Ike Harper, Dirty Shirt Jones, and a cast of hard-luck cowpunchers as they attempt a solemn holiday tableau involving wise men, local music, and one unforgettable mule. Written in lively dialect and packed with slapstick frontier humor, this public-domain story captures the chaos, camaraderie, and comic bravado of early twentieth-century Western fiction.
Thicker Than Water
In the hard-edged cow town of Red Arrow, old grudges, hidden parentage, and high-stakes card tables bind the McCoy family to a dangerous past. Rance McCoy, a feared gunman with a guarded heart, faces a bitter break with his gambler son Angel just as Lila—the young woman he raised as his own—learns the truth about her origins. As loyalties shift between ranch house, saloon, and dusty frontier streets, every hand dealt may reveal more than luck. A tense Western tale of family secrets, moral reckoning, and the deadly games men play when pride is on the line.
The Color of His Boots
In W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale, two hard-luck cowboys find a pair of ruined yellow boots turning an ordinary train ride into a night of chaos across the Bad Lands. Narrated with rustic wit and fast-talking frontier humor, the story follows Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins as vanity, mistaken identity, and sheer bad luck collide. A lively piece of early twentieth-century Western fiction, it blends slapstick adventure with the tall-tale spirit of the American frontier.
