My dad had this book in his library and I just reread it on Kindle. I loved it as much now as I did sixty years ago. It always upsets me when readers think the spelling is bad, when it is simply a matter of dialect. That means the words are written as the characters would say them.  "Skeered" instead of "scared" and "yuh" instead of "you." A lot of the old books had dialect in them, and I sprinkled in some dialect in one of my books,Courage Dares (#4 Sisters of Spirit). I wanted to show that this person had been poorly educated. In the She Boss, the dialect is limited to the old man who talks to Hiram in the first chapter.  Anyway, this is a western romance, the first one I ever read, and I remembered the name of the book and the names of Hiram Hooker, Jo, and Twitter or Tweet Orr Tweet. Remembered the plot and still enjoyed reading it for the umpteenth time.
