THE LURE OF THE DIM TRAILS

B. M. BOWER

This is an interesting twist on a Western, where an author returns to the land where he was born to get some "local flavor" for his novels. He gets much more than he expected, going on long trail rides and nearly freezing the end of his nose off in the winter shacks. Something—it couldn't possibly be the beautiful Mona—could it?—keeps him on the range all year. (Goodreads) ...

And it's a powerful story of "little fishes" in a "big fish" pond, and what constitute...

Bower wrote a multitude of short stories featuring the Flying U characters. This one best of the collections.

Also, I should say that what I am about to relate is perfectly true—but I won’t begin it like that. As a matter of fact, I don’t care much whether you believe me or not, and I always did believe in ...
