B.M. Bower 
The Long Shadow [EPUB ebook] 

Billy Boyle knows cattle and horses better than most. Alexander P. Dill, the merchant from Michigan, knows little of livestock and needs Billy’s help to make it in the business. Billy is eager to oblige, but can he beat the weather, the barbed wire, and the mysterious maneuvers of old man Brown? And what is the Pilgrim up to? Surely no good when it comes to Flora Bridger, who Billy wants to make his own. B. M. Bower was one of the most prolific and popular writers in the early days of the Western genre, and stories like „The Long Shadow” explain the author’s abiding popularity.
