About the Author
Jim Workman was born during the Great Depression of the 1930s’. He served in the U. S. Army Artillery during the Korean Conflict and as a meteorologist during two tours in Vietnam. He was the middle child of nine children of an impoverished family, who some folks referred to as migrant workers. He well remembers the hard times, and the unforgiving existence of the Dust Bowl days. The author was willingly obligated to help provide for the welfare of the family. Before entering the service he worked at several summer and fall jobs, from the paper mills of Northern Louisiana to the cotton fields of the Pecos River Valley of Mew Mexico. While working as a farm laborer and ranch hand along the Red River Valley of North Texas and Southwestern Oklahoma, he had the distinctive privilege of a first-hand education of the western frontier and the men who helped build this great land. He has attempted to re-tell and relate bits of the historical knowledge he has experienced, and common-sense wisdom as told to him by the ranchers, cowboys, laborers, and just common, everyday folks of those unforgettable years from his childhood through “Bucklett’s Pursuit.” Jim now resides in Fort Smith, Arkansas, an area rich in historical accounts of the dangers of the wild and rugged American frontier. An avid fan and reader of western lore, both fiction and non-fiction, he (at the urging of his “hardest critic,” his wife) continues to write his stories of America’s west.
