Bower is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story serves as a further chapter in the adventures of Bud Preston, a cowboy, as he navigates the complexities of romance and matrimony in a rural setting. This lighthearted narrative focuses on themes of love, companionship, and the often comical misadventures that accompany the search for a life partner. In this tale, Bud Preston recounts the experiences of his boss, Shooting-star Wilson, who decides to respond to a matrimonial advertisement seeking a wife. Living in a gaudily decorated house called the Hall of Mirth, aptly built for social gatherings, Shooting-star puts all his hopes into a correspondence with "Lonesome Ann." However, when he finally brings her home, the situation turns comedic as she is overwhelmed by the eccentricity of the house and her new husband. Despite her initial reluctance to stay, the story culminates in a swift and humorous divorce, leaving Shooting-star lamenting his choices while dealing with the consequences of his misguided pursuits in love.
