About the author

W. C. Tuttle (Wilbur Coleman Tuttle) was an American writer, almost all of which were westerns. His best known character was Hashknife Hartley, who along with his friend Sleepy Stevens, served as unofficial detectives solving crimes on the ranches where they worked as cowboys.

He was also a screenwriter hailing back to the silent era. He wrote the screenplays for 52 films between 1915 and 1945.

A semi-pro baseball player in his youth, Tuttle served as President of the Pacific Coast Baseball League 1935-1943.[1] Tuttle recommended to the Los Angeles Angels that the team should ask Gene Lillard to join them.

Interesting! I haven't read many of the westerns, but this one caught my eye because of the author's name. It seems to be a tale of a cowhand and his cohort, that are the western equivalents of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
