Summary: "Cow-Country" by B. M. Bower is a novel likely written during the early 20th century, evoking themes of adventure and the frontier lifestyle. The story revolves around the Birnie family, particularly focusing on Buddy, an energetic young boy longing for action and adventure against the backdrop of a cattle drive across the Staked Plains. The opening of the novel introduces Buddy and his family as they journey with a herd of cattle. The scene is set in the hot afternoon, capturing the challenges of a long drive, where exhausted oxen struggle to pull the wagon.
