by W. C. Tuttle
A wry frontier comedy unfolds when a man’s simple wish to own a couple of horses invites a parade of dubious bargains, hard-luck salesmen, and one unforgettable beast. Told in a sharp, colloquial voice, this classic Western sketch captures the hazards of rural ambition with deadpan humor and vivid period charm. W. C. Tuttle turns everyday misadventure into a lively portrait of optimism colliding with chaos on the range. Ideal for readers of vintage Americana, comic Western fiction, and literary cowboy tales.
