Ajax, For Example
In the rough-and-ready world of Yaller Rock County, two seasoned Westerners find their patience tested by Professor Ajax Ulysses Green, a scholarly Easterner whose scientific ambitions far exceed his frontier common sense. As Ajax pursues his mysterious research among cowboys, miners, judges, and suspicious locals, learned language collides with hard-bitten horse sense to comic effect. W. C. Tuttle’s lively tale blends Western humor, tall-tale absurdity, and satirical frontier character writing in a sharply voiced portrait of book learning gone astray.
When Oscar Went Wild
In W. C. Tuttle’s lively Western comedy, two hard-luck cowpunchers stumble into a motion-picture mishap in the hills near Piperock and find themselves enlisted in the search for a missing studio cougar. What begins as a gallant promise to a charming actress quickly turns into a night of traps, bravado, and frontier confusion. Full of sharp banter, slapstick peril, and early Hollywood absurdity, this archival tale captures the comic edge of the classic Western short story.
The Law of the Range
In the drought-stricken Moon River valley, drifting gunman Skeeter Bill Sarg rides into a bitter range war where cattlemen, sheepherders, and the law are locked in a deadly struggle for survival. Drawn by accident and conscience into the fate of a vulnerable couple, Skeeter must navigate frontier justice, old loyalties, and the hard code of the West. Blending action, dry humor, romance, and moral reckoning, this classic Western follows an outlaw with a stubborn spark of honor in a land where mercy can be as dangerous as a gunfight.
Because He Listened In
A hard-luck outlaw drifts through the sunbaked Gila country with empty pockets, an empty gun, and a knack for trouble. When an overheard conversation points toward a fortune on the stage road to Silver City, he sees one last chance to turn his luck around. W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale blends frontier danger, dry humor, and ironic misadventure in the classic pulp tradition.
Day Before Yesterday
In W. C. Tuttle’s comic outdoor sketch, an ever-hopeful duck hunter chases rumors of perfect shooting across California, only to arrive just after the legendary flights have passed. With mock-biblical wit and sharp sporting satire, the tale captures the rituals, exaggerations, and frustrations of commercial duck clubs and their faithful patrons. Part hunting yarn and part humorous confession, “Day Before Yesterday” celebrates the stubborn optimism of sportsmen who know they are being fooled—and keep returning anyway.
