Bertha Muzzy Sinclair

The Lonesome Trail and Other Stories

Excerpt: A man is very much like a horse. Once thoroughly frightened by something he meets on the road he will invariably shy at the same place afterwards until a wisely firm master leads him perforce to the spot and proves beyond all doubt that the danger is of his own imagining; after which he will throw up his head and deny that he ever was afraid and be quite amusingly sincere in the denial.
Bertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 — July 23, 1940), 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 (even in romantic plots), 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 (also a Western author) in 1905, and to Robert Elsworth Cowan in 1921. However, she chose to publish under the name Bower.
