| Summary |
"Making Good for Muley" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted tale is set against the backdrop of the American West and follows the misadventures of Muley Bowles, a poetical cowboy, as he pursues love and fortune while navigating the complexities of relationships and family expectations. The story centers around Muley, who is infatuated with Susie Abernathy, the niece of a cantankerous sheep rancher named Zeb. Despite his feelings, Muley's economic status as a low-paid cowhand puts him at odds with Zeb, who insists that Susie deserves a wealthier suitor. When Muley unexpectedly inherits a fortune from an aunt he never knew, he must comply with absurd conditions that prevent him from marrying for five years, leading to comedic situations involving sheep and other characters in his life. The narrative blends wit, romance, and friendship, ultimately culminating in a farcical conclusion that reveals the true nature of wealth and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
