About This Book

A collection of comic Western episodes follows a first-person narrator and his companion Dirty Shirt Jones as they drift through frontier towns, encountering eccentric locals, bungling lawmen, and dubious schemes. When a self-styled moviemaker hires them to help stage a realistic bank and stage robbery, they travel to the notorious town of Piperock in disguise and become entangled in misunderstandings and slapstick danger. The pieces blend rustic tall-tale humor, roguish camaraderie, and playful parody of Western motifs into short, episodic vignettes of frontier life.
