Books with title Cabin Fever: A Novel

In Cabin Fever (1918) Bud Moore enters into a life of adventure and soul-searching when he partners with a prospector in the wilderness, sharing a tiny cabin only to have a child change both of their destinies. If you would test the soul of a friend, take him into the wilderness and rub elbows with him for five months. Either you will hate each other forever afterwards, or emerge with contempt tinged with a pitying toleration -- or you will be close, unquestioning friends to the end of your days.

The prolific author Bertha Muzzy Bower lived on a number of Western ranches and farms in her day and was intimately acquainted with the creeping solitude that can surround those who spend time alone on the range. In Cabin Fever, Bower weaves a subtle psychological thriller into the familiar Western landscape that serves as the setting for her most acclaimed works.
