The Adam Chasers

vi, 274 pp. "Adam Chaser"--that's what Bill Jonathan called Professor Abington, an archaeologist searching for hieroglyphics and fossil remains. Bill was dodging the Sheriff when he accidentally came across what the Professor was seeking, and he was glad enough to join fores and turn guide. Betsy O'Donovan and her niece, Jean, however, invaded the locality and, though they were only seeking valuable minerals and regarded the two men as rivals in their own field, the Professor was sure that they were sent out by a scientific competitor to forestall his discoveries. With this mutual distrust and suspicion the stage was set for events which involved Abington and Jean in great danger. It was not until they had faced death together as enemies that their real aims were disclosed and suspicions dissolved. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 – July 23, 1940), best known by her pseudonym B. M. Bower, was an American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying U Ranch in Montana, reflected "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting."[1] She was married three times: to Clayton Bower in 1890, to Bertrand William Sinclair (also a Western author) in 1905, and to Robert Elsworth Cowan in 1921. However, she chose to publish under the name Bower.[2]
