"Henry Goes Prehistoric" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in Wild Horse Valley and follows the escapades of Henry Harrison Conroy, an unlikely sheriff, as he navigates the challenges of crime, intrigue, and unexpected adventures amidst the rugged backdrop of Arizona during the gold rush era. The narrative centers around Sheriff Henry Conroy, his deputy Judge Van Treece, and their inept yet endearing sidekick, the simple-minded Oscar Johnson. When a local prospector, Old Ben Todd, is found murdered, Henry and his eccentric crew dive into the mystery. The plot thickens with elements of rivalry, corruption, and a comedic twist as they uncover a band of high-graders led by the enigmatic Peter Gonyer. With a mix of whimsical characters and humorous situations, including a series of misadventures involving a new buckboard and various mishaps in Lobo Canyon, Tuttle weaves a tale that critiques the absurdity of frontier life while delivering suspense and laughs. Ultimately, the story addresses themes of friendship, ambition, and the humorous side of facing one’s fears in a chaotic world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
