The Catspaw of Pipe Rock and Other Stories from the Pulps

This collection gathers fast-moving Western short stories from the pulp era, set around mining camps, ranches, and rough-and-ready towns. W.C. Tuttle blends action, wit, and frontier problem-solving in tales where cowhands, lawmen, and drifters face hard choices and harder country. Contents include “Derelicts of the Hills,” “His Brother’s Keeper,” “The Catspaw of Piperock,” “Injuneered,” “Henry Goes Prehistoric,” and “Dancing Devil Range.”

Written for magazines such as Adventure and Short Stories, these pieces showcase Tuttle’s hallmark mix of dry humor, crooked schemes, and dusty showdowns. Some stories lean into crime on the range and the duties of a sheriff; others highlight comic scrapes in Piperock and beyond. Together, they offer a clear picture of Western storytelling between the 1910s and 1940s: lean prose, clever twists, and characters who measure right and wrong against the realities of the open country.
