Set in Montana, 'Chip of the Flying U' introduces us to the eponymous cowboy and the Happy family. Chip is awkward around women, but when he meets the gun-toting Dr Della Whitmore, things are about to take a different turn. A beautifully-detailed look at life in the Old West, this story has romance at its heart but doesn't skimp on presenting things as they were, warts and all. ´Chip of the Flying U' is a superb read for fans of Oliver Wister's ´The Virginian´ and for those looking for an introduction to Bower's work.
