B. M. Bower
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."〔William A. Bloodworth Jr., 1981, "Mulford and Bower: Myth and History in the Early Western," ''Great Plains Quarterly'' 1(2): 95-104.http://scholar.google.co.kr/scholar?hl=en&q=clarence+mulford&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= abstract; accessed 2013.11.21.〕
