BookCove › W. C. Tuttle
by W. C. Tuttle
When two drifting cowboys are mistaken for bank robbers and stripped of their clothes by a wily sheriff, they escape a crumbling adobe jail and bluff their way through the frontier town of War Bonnet—one of them dressed as a preacher's wife. W. C. Tuttle's rollicking tale follows Ike and Magpie Simpkins through a cascade of mistaken identities, unlikely disguises, and barroom chaos as they try to stay one step ahead of a posse, a lynch mob, and their own argument about the merits of circumstantial evidence.
