1915. With frontispiece by Douglas Duer. Bower authored several Westerns including Cabin Fever and The Flying U Ranch. This book begins: Without going into a deep, psychological discussion of the elements in men's souls that breed events, we may say with truth that the Lazy A ranch was as other ranches in the smooth tenor of its life until one day in June, when the finger of fate wrote bold and black across the face of it the word that blotted out prosperity, content, war family ties,-all those things that go to make life worth while.

Great Light Romance/Mystery with Western Theme,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jean of the Lazy A (Kindle Edition)
Jane, a young girl of 15 is uprooted from her ranch home when her father is convicted of man-slaughter and sentenced to 8 years in prison. At age 18 she decides to earn enough money to repurchase their ranch and find the man she suspects of committing the crime. As with many of these old westerns, the romance is subtle and the mystery is not so much. It is a very enjoyable light read and I recommend it highly.
