As most Western books goes it details the great outdoors and the beautiful scenery. But this one also has a love story of horse's and people. It takes you there for the ride. Very good story and well written. With a ending not thought of or mentioned. GOOD READ.

I was given this book by my father in the 1950's. I just renewed my reading of it thanks to the new e-book tablet craze. I have since read almost all of B.M. Bowers books. They are a great read for books that are close to 100 years old. Ms. Bowers writes about the start of the "Western" era and the tranportation changing to autos and the beginnings of movies.
No shoot um up cowboy books but real life in Montana and other locals at the turn of the century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book

I read this book when I was in the third grade. I went to a country school where all grades were in the same room and our library was in a small metal cabinet. My lifetime love of reading was born in that little school and I read every book in it's library. This wonderful book had a young girl's heart hurting and in tears for the innocence of the people and their interactions.
I couldn't believe it was the same book but there it was in Kindle Unlimited. A book I never forgot and I am 87
years old.

Chip, of the title, is Claude Benett, the putative foreman of the Flying U Ranch owned by one James G. Whitmore, the Old Man if he isn’t within hearing range. Into this male preserve rides his 23-year-old sister Della, a newly minted doctor. One can just see the bunkhouse crew choking on their belly laughs when she puts their boss in his place. Since the author signs herself B M Bower her keenly observed writing can be forgiven as being mistakenly attributed to a male. Although the book is over a century old and technology has changed the essential nature of ranching remains the same. Cattle must be watched, fences maintained, water and feed ensured, and varmints kept at bay.

The author proves that it is possible to write about a bunkhouse crew without resorting to profanity although it is implied. Ranching is inherently violent. Yearling calves are casatrated if they are male and all were branded with a red hot iron. Branding is still done but dairy cows also bare ear inserts and all cattle are injected with an electronic identifier, without which legitamate stockyards will not sell the critter. Steaks and chops did not come shrink-wrapped from the store but had to be slsughtered and butchered. And broncos got busted often resulting in the cowboy flying through the air. Being a cowpuncher was a young man’s trade, there is just so much punishment the body can take. And riding the range may sound romantic but sleeping under the stars is only romantic in books, especially when it rains.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love those cowboys!
Reviewed in Canada on May 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
Such a charming love story, between an uneducated ranch hand (who is also a gifted artist) and the boss's daughter, a lady doctor from "back East." The cast of cowboys (and horses) is priceless, with their rugged lifestyle, their homespun homilies, and their general straightforward attitude to all things. My only caveat is that the author chose to write most of the dialogue with a Western drawl, so one almost has to read it aloud to get the full effect. This literary technique (writing in accents) has faded away in contemporary novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true little gem
Reviewed in Italy on November 8, 2017

This book is a little, shining gem. Not just a love story, not just a period sketch, but incredibly modern, humourous, witty and fresh, like the Little Doctor.
A very peculiar style of writing, cinematic and feeling the influence of modernism and the blossoming movie industry.

Not to be missed.
What a pity BM Bower is not known more among readers.
