About this ebook

Sleepy Stevens and Hashknife Hartley are hard-riding cowboys with a gift for trouble and a dry, ironical wit that keeps them going when the West turns mean. Their path to Willer Crick begins with a newspaper tale of a silver-mounted saddle, outlaw riders, and a country where luck is crooked and justice comes on horseback. At Pemberton, they enter a bucking contest for prize money and nearly lose everything after spotting a familiar enemy in the crowd, escaping on two vicious broncs and riding straight into another frontier tangle. A runaway horse, a sharp-tongued young woman named Glory, and a warning to stay away from Willer Crick only make them more determined to press on. There, they inherit the ranch, land, cattle, and a copper mine from the dying Ebenezer O. Godfrey, only to learn the property is a trouble-ridden white elephant. With the body missing, gunfire in the brush, feuding families, hidden dynamite, and outsiders trying to drive them off, Sleepy and Hashknife must use bluff, nerve, and quick shooting to hold their claim. 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 career flourished in the early twentieth century, a period when popular fiction was finding fresh ways to capture the humor, grit, and contradictions of everyday American life. Best known for his lively storytelling and his gift for rendering regional speech and character, Tuttle built a reputation as a dependable magazine and paperback author who could blend comedy, adventure, and sentiment with an easy, readable style. His fiction often draws on small-town settings, local color, and the rhythms of ordinary people trying to make sense of change, and that grounded perspective gives his work a lasting charm. Beneath the humor, his stories frequently explore resilience, community, ambition, and the quirks of human nature, themes that still feel familiar to modern readers navigating their own fast-changing world. Tuttle's significance lies not in grand literary experimentation but in his ability to make regional life vivid, entertaining, and humane, helping preserve a distinct slice of American culture on the page. Readers today who enjoy warm, character-driven fiction, nostalgic Americana, and stories with both wit and heart are likely to find Tuttle especially rewarding.
