About This Book
A series of comic vignettes set in a small Western town centers on an aging, booze-prone Native American gambler whose boastful claims of tribal parentage and poker exploits amuse and exasperate his neighbors. The arrival of a flamboyant, self-styled chief with a travelling show produces a parade of misunderstandings and spectacle that disrupts local routines. Through lively sketches of townsfolk, rival settlements, and episodic incidents—poker games, parades, tall tales—the stories riff on frontier pretensions, community loyalties, and human foibles with affectionate satire and broad, situational humor.
