The Color of His Boots

W. C. Tuttle

The Color of His Boots

The Color of His Boots

W. C. Tuttle

Western, Fiction

Two drifters, a train, and a pair of yellow boots that spark chaos across the frontier. Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins are minding their own business when a case of mistaken identity sends them spiraling into one Western catastrophe after another. Those bright yellow boots become the most conspicuous trail markers in the history of the sagebrush, attracting trouble like a mesquite brush fire attracts spectators. What starts as a simple ride on the iron horse becomes a howling comedy of errors, with every town they pass through convinced they've spotted the outlaws, the heroes, or both. W.C. Tuttle writes with the kind of dry Western humor that made him a household name, mining laughter from the gap between what a man intends to do and what actually happens. The American West has never been this ridiculous, and never this much fun.
