B. M. Bower

“ The men are all well-marked types. The women are all possible and pleasant beings. The story gives dramatically the inner life of a mining camp. The atmosphere of wild nature and primeval human passion is well sustained. The exuberance of detail and suggestion, the easy drawing of character, the fine massing of effects, all show a strength and fire in the author which ought to give us a line of good books from his pen in the coming days."—EDWIN MARKHAM, in The New York American.
"Whatever else the reader of this novel may say, he certainly will be forced to admit that it is highly interesting. ”

“ Bower has portrayed but few characters, but these he has pictured with the strong and yet delicate stroke of a true master. The atmosphere of the West is perfect; one sees and feels the vibrant vital life of the ranch activities all through the telling of the story."—Pittsburgh Dispatch. ”

“ There is action and vivacity at all times, and the reader's interest never sways for an instant. The story is admirably written and runs along smoothly at all times."—Philadelphia Press.
"Here are every day, genuine cowboys, just as they really exist, spirited action, a range feud between two families, and a Romeo and Juliet courtship in the Far West which make easy reading. Mr. Bower knows his wild west intimately and writes of it entertainingly."—Des Moines Register and Leader. ”
