About this ebook

Alias Whispering White by W. C. Tuttle is a fast-moving Western comedy of mining camps, mistaken identities, and romance under pressure. Ike Harper, a deadpan prospector, and his lanky partner Magpie Simpkins are eking out a living when mining engineer Franklyn Burt arrives with news that jolts them into action: Marion White, the woman he loves, is about to be married off to the Duke of Northmore. What follows is a tangled mix of hidden fortunes, guardianship schemes, and a supposed death that turns out to be a fraud, all sharpened by frontier wit and social satire. Magpie's bold fake persona, "Whispering White," launches the men into an Eastern masquerade filled with train mishaps, gunplay in a gambling den, and absurd class reversals. Joined by the oddball Homely and the reckless Pinky, they blunder into Redfield society, where reporters, nervous relatives, tailors, and a grand house full of etiquette become targets for their rough-edged humor. Beneath the slapstick, the story keeps its focus on protecting Marion, challenging aristocratic pretension, and turning a mine, a romance, and a legacy into a lively frontier adventure. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
