"The Eagle's Wing: A Story of the Colorado" by B. M. Bower is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American West, focusing on the life of Rawley King, who is navigating family ties and legacy after reconnecting with his grandfather, a renowned figure from frontier days. The novel involves themes of exploration, identity, and the complexities of familial relationships, highlighting Rawley's journey of self-discovery. The opening of the narrative introduces Rawley King, who has just returned from Arizona to his family home. He is surprised to discover his estranged grandfather, King, of the Mounted, wanting to speak with him after years of silence due to a family feud. Their meeting reveals a powerful patriarch filled with a sense of pride for his lineage and past exploits, imparting to Rawley a sense of legacy through two books—a diary and a Bible—which he insists Rawley must read. This pivotal encounter sets the stage for Rawley's exploration of his grandfather’s history, including hints of adventure and a romantic past intertwined with the land of Colorado, revealing the complexities of love, loyalty, and the haunting shadows of the past.
