About the Author

Ron Mills' grandparents on both sides settled in the Sun River Valley west of Great Falls, Montana, in the early 1900's. He was born in 1941 and subsequently raised on cattle ranches near the town of Augusta on the beautiful Rocky Mountain Front and has spent his entire life in that general area. He spent 60 years packing and outfitting in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and in the "off-season" worked on cattle ranches, shod and broke horses, and moved elk off private land to the Sun River Game Range. His entire life has revolved around horses, family and the back country.
