  • "Chip Bennett of the Flying U Ranch in Montana can handle a rowdy horse and a rowdy bunkhouse, but what he can't handle is women. That is, until Dr. Della Whitmore arrives at the ranch and brings out a side of him that no one's ever seen."

  • "B.M. (Bertha Muzzy) Bower was the first woman to make a career of writing popular westerns. And what a career it was - more than sixty novels published from 1904 to 1940, the year of her death, and still more posthumously. In the western orbit, Bower was - and is - a star. Her first, Chip of the Flying U, lays out a ranch in Montana and introduces the Happy Family, the bunkhouse gang that reappears in her later books. Chip is the typical woman-shy cowboy, but he is also a gifted artist (reputedly, Bower based the character on Charles M. Russell, who illustrated Chip). Della, a doctor, is the young woman who disrupts his solitary life. The result is a quality ranch romance. Chip of the Flying U was a great success that led to several movie versions, one of them casting Hoot Gibson as Chip. Today's readers who grew up watching westerns on television will appreciate Bower's cinematic style."
  • "Prolific writer Bertha Muzzy Bower wasn't stymied by gender-based notions of propriety -- this trailblazing female author penned a critically acclaimed series of novels about life on the Western ranch. Several of her narratives centered on a ranch called The Flying U, and this entry in the series, which offers plenty of action and romance, will appeal to a wide range of readers."
