This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. In the masterful Westerns of W. C. Tuttle, the American West is a land of stark contrasts, where sun-scorched tragedy and small-town absurdity exist side-by-side. In the novelette "When East Met West", a delightful satire filled with humor and adventure. In the quirky town of Piperock, civic pride and farcical ambition run wild as the newly formed Chamber of Commerce decides the best way to elevate the town's status is to acquire a zoo, leading to a series of chaotic events, escaped animals, and a ridiculous rivalry with a neighboring town. Then, the anthology shifts to the tragic West in "His Brother's Keeper", a grim work of fiction centered on frontier justice and one of the most complex sheriffs in all Western stories: Sheriff "Duty" Deming, whose merciless enforcement of the law led him to send his own son to prison on false evidence, a decision that destroys his family and leads him to a lonely death in the wasteland, ignorant that the man he hunted was innocent and his son's name had finally been cleared. Together, these disparate tales reveal Tuttle's mastery of the American West in literature, proving the genre is as capable of exploring profound, solitary tragedy in its unforgiving landscapes as it is of celebrating the comical ambition of its eccentric communities. Explore this unique collection to experience both the dramatic weight of frontier justice and the light-hearted absurdity of frontier life as crafted by a master of the Western genre
