Henry Goes Prehistoric
Sheriff Henry Harrison Conroy never asked for a badge. A former vaudevillian with a round belly made for comedy stages, he took the sheriff job in Wild Horse Valley as a joke. Now the gold rush has flooded this Arizona mining town with drifters, schemers, and genuine cutthroats, and the joke has turned serious. When prospector Old Ben Todd turns up murdered, Henry must lead his ragtag crew through a wilderness of claim jumpers, corrupt officials, and the enigmatic Peter Gonyer to find the killer. His deputy quotes Shakespeare at the worst moments. His jailer is gentle but dim. Together, they bumble toward justice in a world where the line between law and lawlessness blurs daily. Tuttle delivers a sharp, affectionate sendup of frontier mythology, proving that heroism often wears a comedy mask.
