B. M. Bower, was an American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying U Ranch in Montana, reflected "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters, the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting."
For this book, the critic August Nemo selected seven short stories by this author:
- The Lonesome Trail.
- First Aid To Cupid.
- When The Cook Fell Ill.
- The Lamb.
- The Spirit of the Range.
- The Reveler.
- The Unheavenly Twins
