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."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Range Dwellers I belonged to some good clubs - athletic, mostly and trained regularly, and was called a fair boxer among the amateurs. I could tell to a glass - after a lot of practise - just how much of 'steen different brands I could take without getting foolish, and I could play poker and win once in awhile. I had a steam-yacht and a motor of my own, and it was generally stripped to racing trim. And I wasn't tangled up with any women; actress-worship had never appealed to me. My tastes all went to' the sporting side of life and left women to the fellows with less nerve and more sentiment.

Book excerpt: I'm something like the old maid you read about-the one who always knows all about babies and just how to bring them up to righteous maturity; I've got a mighty strong conviction that I know heaps that my dad never thought of about the proper training for a healthy male human. I don't suppose I'll ever have a chance to demonstrate my wisdom, but, if I do, there are a few things that won't happen to my boy. If I've got a comfortable wad of my own, the boy shall have his fun without any nagging, so long as he keeps clean and honest. He shall go to any college he may choose-and right here is where my wisdom will sit up and get busy. If I'm fool enough to let that kid have more money than is healthy for him, and if I go to sleep while he's wising up to the art of making it fade away without leaving anything behind to tell the tale, and learning a lot of habits that aren't doing him any good, I won't come down on him with both feet and tell him all the different brands of fool he's been, and mourn because the Lord in His mercy laid upon me this burden of an unregenerate son. I shall try and remember that he's the son of his father, and not expect too much of him. It's long odds I shall find points of resemblance a-plenty between us-and the more cussedness he develops, the more I shall see myself in him reflected.

Book excerpt: If a phrenologist should undertake to "read" my head, he would undoubtedly find my love ofhome-if that is what it is called-a sharply defined welt. I know that I watched the lights of oldFrisco slip behind me with as virulent a case of the deeps as often comes to a man when hisdigestion is good. It wasn't that I could not bear the thought of hardship; I've taken hunting trips upinto the mountains more times than I can remember, and ate ungodly messes of my own invention, and waded waist-deep in snow and slept under the stars, and enjoyed nearly every minute. So itwasn't the hardships that I had every reason to expect that got me down. I think it was the feelingthat dad had turned me down; that I was in exile, and-in his eyes, at least-disgraced, it wasknowing that he thought me pretty poor truck, without giving me a chance to be anything better. Ihumped over the rail at the stern, and watched the waves slap at us viciously, like an ill-temperedpoodle, and felt for all the world like a dog that's been kicked out into the rain. Maybe the medicinewas good for me, but it wasn't pleasant. It never occurred to me, that night, to wonder how dad feltabout it; but I've often thought of it since.I had a section to myself, so I could sulk undisturbed; dad was not small, at any rate, and, though hehadn't let me have his car, he meant me to be decently comfortable. That first night I slept without abreak; the second I sat in the smoker till a most unrighteous hour, cultivating the acquaintance of adrummer for a rubber-goods outfit. I thought that, seeing I was about to mingle with the workingclasses, I couldn't begin too soon to study them. He was a pretty good sort, too.The rubber-goods man left me at Seattle, and from there on I was at the tender mercies of my ownthoughts and an elderly lady with a startlingly blond daughter, who sat directly opposite me and wasfrankly disposed to friendliness. I had never given much time to the study of women, and so had noalternative but to answer questions and smile fatuously upon the blond daughter, and wonder if Iought to warn the mother that "clothes do not make the man," and that I was a black sheep and nota desirable acquaintance. Before I had quite settled that point, they left the train. I am afraid I amnot distinctly a chivalrous person; I hummed the Doxology after their retreating forms and retiredinto myself, with a feeling that my own society is at times desirable and greatly to be chosen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Marion Russell (March 19, 1864 - October 24, 1926), also known as C. M. Russell, Charlie Russell, and "Kid" Russell, was an American artist of the Old American West. Russell created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Indians, and landscapes set in the Western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures. Known as 'the cowboy artist', Russell was also a storyteller and author. He became an advocate for Native Americans in the West, for instance supporting the bid by landless Chippewa to have a reservation established for them in Montana. In 1916 Congress passed legislation to create such a reservation, now known as the Rocky Boy Reservation.....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.Early lifeBorn Bertha Muzzy in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, to Washington Muzzy and Eunice Miner Muzzy, Bower moved with her family to a dryland homestead near Great Falls, Montana, in 1889. That fall, just before her eighteenth birthday, she began teaching school in nearby Milligan Valley. The school was a small, hastily converted log outbuilding, and she taught twelve pupils. Her experiences as a teacher informed the characters of schoolma'ams who appear frequently in her in the writings, notably in The North Wind Do Blow (1937), in which a young, eastern-born schoolma'am teaches her first term in central Montana. After one term as a schoolteacher, Bower returned to her family's homestead.

Mostly set in rural and urban pre-partition Bengal, these inherently simple stories have a universal appeal and beautifully portray the intricate aspects of the nature of society and the people in it. They have the capacity to touch your core and leave you thinking deeply about human values. Each and every story in this collection rings of classic Tagore.

The stories have been edited and presented for the reading of contemporary audience.
Download or read book Everybody loves a good drought written by P Sainath and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2000-10-14 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human face of poverty The poor in India are, too often, reduced to statistics. In the dry language of development reports and economic projections, the true misery of the 312 million who live below the poverty line, or the 26 million displaced by various projects, or the 13 million who suffer from tuberculosis gets overlooked. In this thoroughly researched study of the poorest of the poor, we get to see how they manage, what sustains them, and the efforts, often ludicrous, to do something for them. The people who figure in this book typify the lives and aspirations of a large section of Indian society, and their stories present us with the true face of development.
