Description
Bertha Muzzy Sinclair (1871-1940), best known by her pseudonym B M Bower, was an American author of novels, short stories and screenplays about the American Old West. Her works featuring cowboys on the Flying U Ranch in Montana give the reader a real sense of western geography, simultaneously harsh and grand, offering an accurate portrayal of cowboy life with many authentic details on all aspects of a working ranch, and it was oftern assumed by both readers and reviewers that Bower was a man. Her books are infused with light humour and there is little violence; Bower's West is a place of change in which her characters embrace the introduction of things such as barbed wire and Kodak cameras. Several of Bower's books have been adapted into films, and she herself wrote screenplays for 7 westerns, developing friendships with actors Gary Cooper and Tom Mix. She also used her experience working within the studio system as source material for several novels, including Jean of the Lazy A and The Phantom Herd (both 1915). Cabin Fever (1918), in common with other of Bower's works, looks at how men cope when their cowboy life is over and tells the story of Bud who, following his divorce, sets off on a desert adventure after a chance meeting with an old prospector.
