Derelicts Of The Hills
In the rugged hills north of Piperock, two grizzled prospectors scratch out a living between mesquite, dust, and dreams of a lucky strike. When Magpie Simpkins — dabbler in hypnotism, psychology, and communion with the spirits — returns from town head-over-boots in love with a blue-eyed waitress, his long-suffering partner Ike Harper braces for the worst. What follows is a tall tale of buckshot justice, bailing-wire suspenders, and the peculiar comedy that unfolds when a scientific loco sourdough decides to tie the knot. W. C. Tuttle spins a classic slice of pulp-era Western humor in the authentic cowboy dialect that made his Piperock yarns a staple of Adventure magazine.
Injuneered
In the rough-and-tumble frontier town of Piperock, a visit from a flamboyant old acquaintance turns an ordinary day into a spectacle of wagers, rivalries, and escalating disorder. Told in a lively vernacular, this comic Western spins together small-town pride, traveling-show chaos, and the unpredictable ambitions of men who never quite play fair. W. C. Tuttle delivers a fast-moving tale of gambling, swagger, and absurd misadventure set against the dusty humor of the American West.
His Brother’s Keeper
In the scorched reaches of Bitter Water Valley, a sheriff famed for his unbending devotion to the law sets out across the desert on a manhunt that becomes something far more intimate and unforgiving. As old grievances, family wounds, and frontier justice converge, the badlands strip every conviction to its core. W. C. Tuttle crafts a stark Western of moral conflict, harsh landscape, and the perilous line between duty and obsession.
A Military Interlude
In the brutal winter encampment at Valley Forge, a battle-worn sergeant struggles between private duty and public honor as hunger, cold, and disillusion test the Continental Army’s resolve. Set against the hardships of the American Revolution, this tense historical tale explores conscience, sacrifice, and the fragile line between rebellion and loyalty. Ernest Haycox delivers a stark, atmospheric portrait of endurance under pressure, where one soldier’s choices carry the weight of a nation in the making.
All Wool
Hired as unlikely shepherds in an unfamiliar stretch of range country, cowpunchers Zeb Whitney and Ricky Saunders quickly learn that guarding three thousand sheep for top wages comes with reasons their easygoing boss failed to mention. A stray bullet, a vanished herder, and a sudden blast in the night convince them they've blundered into the middle of a simmering range war between cattlemen and sheep owners. Outgunned, out-supplied, and subsisting on half-cooked mutton, the two saddle-tramps answer each new calamity with wisecracks, card games, and a stubborn refusal to be run off. A rollicking frontier yarn of grit, gallows humor, and partnership tested by dust, dynamite, and the worst cooking west of the Rockies.
