Synopsis

In "The Flying U Ranch," B. M. Bower masterfully weaves a narrative that captures the rugged and romantic essence of the American West. Set against the backdrop of a cattle ranch in Montana, the story centers on the misadventures of the Flying U gang, blending humor with poignant character studies. Bower's vivid prose and authentic dialogue vividly evoke the landscape and lifestyle of early 20th-century ranchers, while her keen eye for detail illuminates the complexities of human relationships within a pastoral setting. This novel is situated within the frontier literature of its time, which sought to immortalize the cowboy mythos while also addressing the nuanced realities of frontier life. B. M. Bower, a pioneer among female Western writers, was deeply influenced by her own experiences growing up in the West. Born in 1871 in the ranching heartland of Montana and raised among cowboys, Bower's unique perspective allowed her to challenge the gender norms of her time. Her background informed her storytelling, enabling her to create authentic, relatable characters who navigate the trials and triumphs of ranch life, all while embodying the spirit of independence and adventure. "The Flying U Ranch" is a must-read for anyone who appreciates classic Western literature, as well as those drawn to themes of camaraderie, resilience, and the allure of the untamed frontier. Bower's novel not only entertains but also enriches our understanding of a formative period in American history, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

Tree The (Unabridged)

H. P. Lovecraft

"The Tree" is a macabre short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in 1920, and published in October 1921 in The Tryout. Set in ancient Greece, the story concerns two sculptors who accept a commission with ironic consequences.
Lovecraft wrote "The Tree" early in his career. He was dismissive of the story in a 1936 letter. Such stories, he said, "if typed on good stock make excellent shelf-paper, but little else." The assessment of Lovecraft authority S. T. Joshi was that although the story "may be a trifle obvious... it is an effective display of Lovecraft's skill in handling a historical setting."
