by W. C. Tuttle
In W. C. Tuttle’s comic Western tale, a simple plan to look presentable for a ranch dance sends Hen Peck and Telescope Tolliver into a sunbaked Montana misadventure. Set among cowboys, creek beds, cattle, goats, and a country posse, the story turns frontier life into a cascade of mistaken identity and slapstick humiliation. Told in lively dialect with dry wit and archival charm, this public-domain range comedy captures the rowdy humor of early twentieth-century pulp Western fiction.
