M. Bower used only her initials to sign these Western stories that have vast appeal because of her sense of humor, the strong ties of loyalty and family among her characters, as well as the authentic quality of her cowboy characters. 520 $a In "The Intervention of Almighty Voice," a scheming widow sets her cap for the Old Man, J. G. Whitmore, owner of the Flying U Ranch. In "The Outlaw," a young Montana cowpuncher kills in self-defense, but the enmity of the town banker, a shocking betrayal, and an unjust prison sentence force him to escape. In "Big Medicine," there is dissension among the Flying U crew when an irritating braggart is hired. "The Land Shark" is a familiar type found on the frontier, and one always difficult to outwit. In "Law on the Flying U," young Chip Bennett meets an old friend dodging the law and introduces him to Weary Davidson, the Flying U foreman, as a stranger in need of a job. "On the Middle Guard," and the sudden appearance of a new-fangled automobile on a cattle herd's bed ground causes a stampede. In "The Tale of a Native Son," J. G. Whitmore hires an aristocratic Californio whose silver-trimmed, ornate working rig is shockingly different from the ordinary utilitarian Montana outfit, and snubbing does not prove successful in dealing with him. In her story "Happy Jack, Wild Man," one of the Flying U cowpunchers is set afoot naked on the prairie. Love of whiskey in "By Gollies, Yes!" has plagued Banty and Grit, the aging, cantankerous partners on a remote Idaho ranch. They both swear off until the United States' entry into the Great War provides Grit with an excuse to go on a disastrous drunk that threatens to cost both men their lives during a brutal winter. 650 0 $a Flying U Ranch (Imaginary place) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ranch life $z Montana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Western stories. 651 0 $a Montana $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Anderson, Kate Baird. 941 $a 2 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924012909.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20140411012650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB4410AA3ADF11E391305EE4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
