Summary:

"All Wool" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the story revolves around two cowboys, Zeb Whitney and Ricky Saunders, who find themselves in a precarious situation while herding sheep. The narrative offers a light-hearted take on the challenges and comical misadventures of the duo as they contend with unexpected troubles, alluding to broader conflicts between cattle ranchers and sheep herders during this period. The plot follows Zeb and Ricky as they are hired to tend a flock of sheep but soon suspect that their job comes with hidden dangers. After a series of unfortunate events, including a mysterious explosion that destroys their camp and a confrontation with cowboys intent on driving off the sheep, the pair navigate a series of comedic predicaments. Ultimately, their escapades lead to a narrow escape from an arrest and a realization that the world of sheep herding might not be the best fit for them. The book encapsulates themes of adventure, camaraderie, and the absurdities of rural life, making it an entertaining read for those who enjoy Western humor and light fiction.
