About the author
Born in Montana on November 11, 1883, W. C. Tuttle was an American writer who built an enormous career in popular fiction. He wrote more than 1,000 magazine stories and dozens of novels, with westerns making up almost all of his work.
He published mainly in pulp magazines, especially Adventure, where readers embraced his fast-moving tales and colorful frontier characters. His best-known creations were Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens, a pair of wandering cowboys who often found themselves solving crimes as they moved from ranch to ranch.
Tuttle also worked in film, writing screenplays during the silent era and beyond. He died on June 6, 1969, but his stories have remained in print and online, keeping his blend of action, mystery, and Western humor alive for new readers.
