About this eBook

Author Bower, B. M., 1871-1940
Title The Ranch at the Wolverine
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The Ranch at the Wolverine" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of pioneers settling in the rugged wilderness of Idaho, focusing on characters such as the hardened woman Marthy and her shiftless husband Jase, along with young Billy Louise, their neighbor's daughter. The narrative appears to explore themes of survival, hardship, and the nuances of human relationships in a stark and demanding environment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Marthy and Jase, who are portrayed as the archetypical pioneers struggling against the tough conditions of the wild. Marthy emerges as a driving force, making the best of their harsh life, while Jase remains passive and shiftless. The narrative also brings us to ten-year-old Billy Louise, who represents innocence and curiosity, often fostering a bond with other characters, particularly Marthy. As the story unfolds, it hints at a deeper exploration of their aspirations, losses, and the stark realities they face, suggesting a journey of growth and resilience amidst the challenges of frontier life.
