Description
B. M. Bower published The Long Shadow in 1908, a western novel set on the Montana range, illustrated by Clarence Rowe. Bower, who also wrote as B. M. Sinclair, was a leading writer of ranch romances.
Charming Billy, the hero, faces visitors, fights, canned goods, a man from Michigan, and a dill pickle dispute, while the shadow of an old wrong falls across the range. Chapters move through prune pie and coon-can games, a day of celebration, and Billy hiring a cook, with humor and horse sense throughout. The plot turns on reputation: how a man name follows him, and how he outlives it. Bower westerns are known for authentic ranch detail and easy dialogue.
