The parowan bonanza (B.M. Bower)

B. M. Bower was the first woman to make a career of writing popular westerns. 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. „The Parowan Bonanza” is one of her stories. This short but engaging novel contains all of the elements that made B. M. Bower’s books a mainstay of the genre of classic Westerns.
