About this ebook

In the wild Bad Lands of eastern Montana, Blaze Carlin and his wiry French-Canadian companion, Frenchy Ditteau, ride out of a saloon brawl and into a frontier where survival depends on nerve, loyalty, and a private sense of justice. Their uneasy journey turns grim when they find a hanged cripple beside a squatter's cabin, a victim of vigilante brutality signed only by a mysterious "V." Blaze and Frenchy bury the man with respect, then push onward into cattle country ruled by the feared Black Mora, whose men, spies, and threats make the land feel captive. When the pair refuse to be driven off, gunfire erupts, and they are forced into a desperate running fight that ends in a burning ranch house and a hidden escape tunnel revealed by an Indigenous woman. Their defiance earns them a new role in Wolf Butte, where Judge Whalen and frightened townsmen beg them to challenge Mora's reign of terror. Blaze becomes deputy and Frenchy sheriff, and the two begin their rough, comic, dangerous attempt to impose law on a town mocked by drunks, watched by outlaws, and waiting for violence to break again. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

W. C. "Wilbur C." Tuttle was an American writer whose life and career were shaped by the spirit of the early twentieth-century West, a world of open ranges, hard choices, and shifting ideas about justice and identity. Working in the golden age of popular fiction, he built a reputation for vivid storytelling that blended action, moral conflict, and the rugged atmosphere of frontier life. His best-known writing captured the drama of western experience while also exploring the quieter pressures beneath it: loyalty, honor, survival, and the uneasy line between law and violence. Tuttle's fiction often reflects a deep interest in ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances, and that human focus gives his work lasting appeal beyond its historical setting. Today, his stories remain relevant because they speak to timeless questions about how communities define right and wrong, how individuals earn trust, and how order is built in unsettled places. He stands as part of the tradition that helped shape American western literature, contributing to its enduring mythos while grounding it in believable characters and social tensions. Readers who enjoy classic westerns, frontier adventure, and stories that combine fast-moving plots with a strong sense of place will find Tuttle especially rewarding.
