E-text prepared by Al Haines "The Lonesome Trail and Other Stories" by B. M. Bower is a collection of stories written during the early 20th century. The narrative primarily unfolds in the American West, exploring themes of love, adventure, and the complexities of human relationships through the eyes of a cowboy named Will Davidson, who is known as "Weary." The stories intertwine humor and drama as they depict the unique lives and struggles of characters living on the fringes of the frontier. The opening of "The Lonesome Trail" introduces us to Weary Davidson, who grapples with his feelings towards women after a past experience with a girl in his hometown. The story sets the tone with Weary's discomfort in romantic situations, showcasing his interactions with his friends from the Happy Family and a mysterious schoolma'am who has captured his interest. As Weary prepares for a race day celebration, he finds himself in humorous and unanticipated predicaments with his horse, Glory, and inadvertently meets a girl who may alter his reluctance towards women. This engaging blend of humor and introspection provides a compelling start to the collection, hinting at the development of Weary's character across the stories.
