Chip of the Flying U

B.M. Bower
3.79/5 (128 ratings)
B. M. Bower's first novel is a solid western romance that introduces the reader to the Happy Family, who are featured in many of her later books. In this tale, a shy cowboy has his life turned upside down when a young female doctor enters his life.

Excerpt:
The noon train slid away from the little, red depot at Dry Lake and curled out of sight around a hill. The only arrival looked expectantly into the cheerless waiting room, gazed after the train, which seemed the last link between her and civilization, and walked to the edge of the platform with a distinct frown upon the bit of forehead visible under her felt hat.A fat young man threw the mail sack into a weather-beaten buggy and drove leisurely down the track to the post office. The girl watched him out of sight and sighed disconsolately. All about her stretched the rolling grass land, faintly green in the hollows, brownly barren on the hilltops. Save the water tank and depot, not a house was to be seen, and the silence and loneliness oppressed her.
