"You Ask Anybody" by B. M. Bower is a novel published in the early 20th century. It introduces readers to the spirited character of Casey Ryan, a stage driver in Nevada, whose adventurous spirit and cheerful optimism lead him through various challenges as he transitions from horse-drawn stages to driving a Ford automobile. The book explores themes of resilience, personal transformation, and the evolution of transportation in the face of industrial progress. The story follows Casey Ryan's humorous and tumultuous journey as he navigates life on the road, tackling adversities and showcasing his reckless driving skills. As Casey embraces the speed and freedom brought by the automobile, he also encounters moments of self-reflection and the complexities of relationships, particularly with a widow who captures his heart. The narrative captures a slice of early 20th-century Western life, blending humor with romance and adventure as Casey learns to find his place in a rapidly changing world, while ultimately remaining true to his spirited nature.
