Rowdy of the Cross L

Rowdy of the Cross L is a Western novel written by B.M. Bower. The story revolves around Rowdy Vaughan, a young cowboy who is hired by the wealthy and influential owner of the Cross L ranch, J.G. Whitman. Rowdy is tasked with breaking in a wild stallion named Satan, who has been causing trouble on the ranch. Along the way, Rowdy meets and falls in love with Whitman's daughter, Jean, but their relationship is threatened by the scheming ranch foreman, Hank Graves. As Rowdy struggles to tame Satan and win Jean's heart, he must also navigate the dangerous world of ranch politics and deal with the treachery of those around him. The novel is filled with action, adventure, and romance, and offers a vivid portrayal of life in the American West during the early 20th century.Rowdy was sprawled ungracefully upon somebody's bunk--he neither knew nor cared whose--and he was snoring unmelodiously, and not dreaming a thing; for when a cow-puncher has nothing in particular to do, he sleeps to atone for the weary hours when he must be very wide-awake. An avalanche descended upon his unwarned middle, and checked the rhythmic ebb and flow of sound.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
