Tippecanoe and Cougars Two
High in the mountains above Piperock, prospectors Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins are minding their own business when a sputtering automobile climbs the road to their hillside cabin, carrying the most absent-minded pair the West has ever seen: "Tippecanoe" Seeley, a guide who can't remember his own boots, and Professor Aloysius Van Fleet, a bespectacled tenderfoot bent on filming wild cougars with a moving-picture camera. Add a long-suffering wife, a wide-eyed daughter, and a fastidious English lord to the party, and the stage is set for a tangle of ropes, claws, dust, and dialect-laced disaster. Narrated in the salty vernacular of a cowboy who has clearly seen too much, W. C. Tuttle's tall tale of the Montana high country is pure frontier slapstick from start to finish. First published in Adventure magazine in 1921, it remains a vintage gem of pulp-era Western humor.
Fifty-Fifty with Bonnie
When a letter goes astray and two refined Eastern ladies arrive at the Seven-A ranch with six trunks and grand expectations, the ornery cowhands of Hank Padden's outfit find themselves on the receiving end of a misunderstanding nobody bargained for. Chuck Warner, a bow-legged jokester with a gift for stretching the truth, can't resist spinning a few tall tales to amuse himself and rattle his trail-mates—particularly the long, slow-witted Swede left in charge while the boss is away. As schemes pile atop schemes and the prospect of a dozen marriageable girls looms on the horizon, the lonesomeness of ranch life gives way to a roaring tangle of mistaken identities, hollered conversations, and sagebrush mischief. Set on the Montana range of a bygone era, this rollicking yarn from pulp-fiction favorite W. C. Tuttle delivers cowboy comedy at full gallop.
Cows is Cows
In the dusty reaches of Yellow Rock County, cattle are vanishing faster than Sheriff Magpie Simpkins can roll a smoke, and the local ranchers have run out of patience. When a hired detective arrives to hunt the rustlers and a tall, sermonizing stranger calling himself a 'Bringer of Light' wanders into town, the trouble multiplies in unexpected ways. Narrated in the salty drawl of emergency deputy Ike Harper, this classic frontier yarn from W. C. Tuttle blends tall-tale humor, mistaken identity, and the rough justice of the open range. A short, comic Western from the golden age of pulp adventure.
A Whizzer on Willer Creek
In the rough-edged cattle country of Willer Crick, two wandering cowboys ride straight into a feud-ridden range where family ties are tangled, tempers are quick, and trouble comes looking for strangers. Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens find themselves heirs to a disputed ranch, a mysterious legacy, and a hornet’s nest of frontier suspicion. Brimming with dry humor, hard riding, and Western grit, this lively tale captures the comic danger and outlaw charm of the early pulp frontier.
The Medicine Man
In the rugged Modoc range, rancher Bud Daley faces ruin when his entire herd vanishes and suspicion closes in around him. Burdened by debt, betrayed by circumstance, and caught between ruthless power and frontier justice, Bud must navigate a world where loyalty, reputation, and survival are never certain. Blending Western mystery, sharp cowboy humor, and hard-edged range drama, W. C. Tuttle’s tale captures a lawless cattle country alive with danger, wit, and moral reckoning.
