Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - There is a certain malady of the mind induced by too much of one thing. Just as the body fed too long upon meat becomes a prey to that horrid disease called scurvy, so the mind fed too long upon monotony succumbs to the insidious mental ailment which the West calls "cabin fever." True, it parades under different names, according to circumstances and caste. You may be afflicted in a palace and call it ennui, and it may drive you to commit peccadillos and indiscretions of various sorts. You may be attacked in a middle-class apartment house, and call it various names, and it may drive you to cafe life and affinities and alimony. You may have it wherever you are shunted into a backwater of life, and lose the sense of being borne along in the full current of progress. Be sure that it will make you abnormally sensitive to little things; irritable where once you were amiable; glum where once you went whistling about your work and your play. It is the crystallizer of character, the acid test of friendship, the final seal set upon enmity. It will betray your little, hidden weaknesses, cut and polish your undiscovered virtues, reveal you in all your glory or your vileness to your companions in exile - if so be you have any.
Autorenporträt
Bertha Muzzy Sinclair, better known by the pen name B. M. Bower, was born on November 15, 1871, in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, to Washington Muzzy and Eunice Miner Muzzy. She became one of the most recognized writers of Western fiction during the early 20th century. Her works often centered on life in the American Old West, capturing the spirit and landscape of the frontier with realism and emotional nuance. She wrote novels, short stories, and even screenplays, making her one of the first women to successfully break into the male-dominated Western genre. Her first marriage to Clayton Bower lasted from 1890 to 1905, and she adopted her pseudonym during this period. She later married Bertrand William Sinclair, a fellow writer, from 1905 to 1912, and finally Robert Elsworth Cowan from 1921 to 1939. Her children were Bertha Grace, Roy Noel, and Harold Clayton. Sinclair's writing stood out for its authentic voice, drawing from both personal experience and her deep observation of Western life. She died in Los Angeles, California, on July 23, 1940.
