"Cow-Country" by B. M. Bower is an adventure story about a boy's yearning for excitement in the Old West. The story starts with the Birnie family toughing it out on a cattle drive over the Staked Plains. Readers meet Buddy, a spirited young boy who craves excitement. The book opens on a scorching afternoon of a cattle drive, where even the oxen are struggling because it is so hot. Buddy's adventurous spirit leads him away from his family's wagon, and he faces the dangers and wonders of the wild, including a horned toad and a rattlesnake. Bravery comes naturally to Buddy, but because he is curious, he can get himself into trouble. This opening shows what Buddy is like and creates the cowboy setting for his development.

Summary
About the AuthorBertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy, best known by her pseudonym 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." She was married three times: to Clayton Bower in 1890, to Bertrand William Sinclair in 1905, and to Robert Elsworth Cowan in 1921. However, she chose to publish under the name Bower.
