1917. With frontispiece by H. Weston Taylor. Bower authored several Westerns including Cabin Fever and The Flying U Ranch. The Lookout Man begins: From the obscurity of vast, unquiet distance the surf came booming in with the heavy impetus of high tide, flinging long streamers of kelp and bits of driftwood over the narrowing stretch of sand where garishly costumed bathers had lately shrieked hilariously at their gambols. Before the chill wind that had risen with the turn of the tide the bathers retreated in dripping, shivering groups, to appear later in fluffs and furs and woolen sweaters; still inclined to hilarity, still undeniably loth to leave off their pleasuring at Venice, dedicated to cheap pleasures.

Corny,
By Twostory (Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THE LOOKOUT MAN (NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WESTERN) (Kindle Edition)
This is not a western but some 1920`s rich momma`s-boy story. I had a hard time liking the main character who was a criminal who got away with his crime for no good reason - except for maybe being wealthy. For a wilderness setting, people were showing up everywhere.
