Summary

Sawtooth Ranch by B. M. Bower is an early 20th-century story set amidst the challenging ranching landscape of Idaho, where Brit Hunter and Frank Johnson grapple with the daily struggles of running a small cattle ranch. Themes such as loneliness, ambition, and the realities of ranch life are woven throughout the narrative. The story gains new complexity with the arrival of Brit's daughter, Lorraine, who brings with her a yearning for adventure fueled by cinematic fantasies, a dream that clashes with the harsh realities of her father’s world while seeking his affection after years of separation.

About the Author

Bertha 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.
