Coles Between Pike's Peak and a Pickle: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. When Yuma Yates boasts in Piperock that he can ride anything in the world, Magpie Simpkins turns the claim into a wager so outrageous it splits Yaller Rock County into rival camps. What follows is pure W. C. Tuttle frontier comedy: a "suicide bicycle," a crowd hungry for spectacle, and a contest that grows from tavern talk into town-wide chaos. Magpie's sly plan, Dirty Shirt's sharp commentary, and Judge Steele's efforts to keep order only deepen the fun as bets pile up, collateral turns absurd, and the whole place braces for disaster. Once Yuma mounts the unruly machine, the story erupts into a slapstick Western farce of bucking broncs, panicked livestock, shattered saloon furniture, and even a grizzly bear. Told with deadpan humor and rough-edged slang, this tall tale celebrates bravado, bad judgment, and the comic downfall of pride. It's a lively romp where every boast invites trouble and every stunt ends in glorious wreckage.
