Summary

In "B. M. BOWER: 26 Novels & 16 Tales of the Old West (Illustrated)," readers are immersed in a rich tapestry of Western fiction that encapsulates the spirit of the American frontier. Bower's works, characterized by their vivid descriptions and compelling characterizations, delve into themes of love, adventure, and the struggle for survival in a rapidly changing landscape. With a blend of realism and romance, the narratives reflect not only the rugged individualism of the West but also the underlying social tensions of the era, making this anthology a cornerstone of Western literature.

She leaves her husband and flies to Miami to start living with Rich Villamano, but there he tells her he has changed his mind and they must go their own ways. In an instant their four-year affair is over. She takes off in his car, heading north with no luggage, no hope or destination. She buys a bottle of gin and drinks it straight.
