About this ebook

Zeb Whitney and Ricky Saunders, two cowboys turned sheep-herders, take what seems like an easy, well-paid job on the Willow Creek range—only to suspect almost at once that they've walked into trouble. Zeb is wary and quick to see danger, while Ricky is more easygoing and doubtful that anyone would bother them. Their sharp banter gives the story its rough frontier humor even as a rifle shot, strange signs around the ranch, and a devastating explosion that wrecks their camp confirm that someone wants them gone. Exhausted, hungry, and short on shelter, the pair struggle on through miserable days of hard labor and mounting danger. Zeb becomes convinced a range war between cattlemen and sheepmen is behind the sabotage, and Ricky, though skeptical, sticks with him. Their uneasy partnership is tested when armed cowboys arrive with an ultimatum: move the sheep off Willow Creek by nightfall or be driven out. Blending comic skepticism with rising tension, the story builds toward a classic Western showdown of stubbornness, survival, and resistance. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

W. C. Tuttle, born Wilbur C. Tuttle in the American West at the end of the nineteenth century, built a career that reflected the restless energy, humor, and rough-edged romance of frontier life. He worked in the worlds of journalism and popular fiction, and his stories found a wide audience in magazines and in the growing market for Western entertainment. Tuttle became especially admired for his ability to blend action with wit, creating vivid tales of cowboys, ranch hands, drifters, and small-town characters whose struggles felt both larger than life and recognizably human. His best writing captures the tensions between independence and community, lawlessness and order, pride and vulnerability, often with a light touch that keeps the stories lively even as they reveal deeper truths about survival and character. What makes Tuttle still relevant is the way his fiction preserves a distinctly American imagination while also speaking to enduring concerns: how people define themselves, how they navigate change, and how humor can soften hardship without denying it. His legacy rests in helping shape the popular Western as a form that could be entertaining, sharply observed, and emotionally grounded at once. Readers who enjoy classic Westerns, spirited storytelling, and colorful characters with a strong sense of place are likely to find Tuttle especially rewarding.
