I grew up listening to and telling campfire stories. Often journeying out for miles on foot with only a rifle, through open fields and woods, I would imagine what it was like a hundred years ago. I've traveled extensively throughout the west as a professional auctioneer. I spent countless hours creating stories of the pioneer and trail driving days, in the beautiful and sometimes rugged countryside that I encountered along the way. I look back over history with fondness and a yearning for the simple life of yesteryear when faith, hardwork, and determination were common and survival was the order of the day. Bringing alive the adventurous characters of days gone by is my passion and I hope you enjoy reading these pages as much as I did writing them.
