B. M. Bower - Cabin Fever
Cabin Fever
B. M. Bower
Description
Overall a nice little tale about a young couple in 1918 who experienced an unrecognized bout of cabin fever. This caused a prideful split which neither really wanted, but were blinded by this common winter malady. The travels of the young man who took to the road went through some surprising and interesting twists and turns. The surprise ending was a nice touch, by the author. A few times the descriptions of the events unfolding became just a tad too long, but not so as to diminish the tale.
This was an interesting story about a man who quarrels with his young wife and goes out into the world to try to forget her. He runs across jewel thieves and, after craftily turning them in to the police, throws his lot in with a prospector. He tries his best to ignore all thoughts of his abandoned wife, but the effort leads him into bad habits and an urge to drink. Then, one day, he finds a child who has been stolen by an Indian squaw and takes him in. How will the child's presence change the two hardened men?
