The Gringos

by B. M. Bower

Overview

We have two cowboys who have gone to the gold fields and had the good fortune to make a bundle from their mine. Dade Hunter is the quieter, steady one; Jack Allen is the firebrand who is always getting into trouble. They decide to spend the winter in a very young and raw San Francisco. Jack loves the gambling life there, but Dade gets tired of it all pretty quickly and rides out exploring, ending up in Palo Alto, where he makes friends with Don Andres, the Spanish owner of a large hacienda. He returns and tries to get Jack to go out to the ranch also, but he refuses. He will soon wish he had not been so stubborn! (Goodreads)

About the Author

Bertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 – July 23, 1940), best known by her pseudonym B. M. Bower, was an American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying U Ranch in Montana, reflected "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting." She was married three times: to Clayton Bower in 1890, to Bertrand William Sinclair (also a Western author) in 1905, and to Robert Elsworth Cowan in 1921. However, she chose to publish under the name Bower.
