The Hand of Providence
By Tuttle, W. C. (author)
Original publication: The Ridgway Company (in Adventure Magazine), November 3, 1918
In the dusty Western town of Piperock, boredom gives way to chaos when Scenery Sims arrives in a brand-new “hossless wagon” that terrifies horses, rattles nerves, and upends local pride. Told in lively frontier dialect, this comic tale pits old ways against modern invention with a cast of cowboys, sheriffs, shopkeepers, and skeptics caught in the machine’s noisy wake. W. C. Tuttle’s “The Hand of Providence” offers a humorous snapshot of the American West at the moment progress comes roaring down Main Street.
