Frederick Frank Blachly was born in a barn in Western Colorado in 1880, the second oldest of eight boys. When he was barely 13 his father was shot and killed by bank robbers, leaving young Fred to provide for his family. With only 3rd grade education he worked as a handyman, camp cook, cowboy, and rancher, enduring heartbreaking losses until age 25 when he determined to pursue a real education. After catching a cattle train east, he put himself through his secondary and college education in 6 years, graduating from Oberlin College, then earning a PhD from Columbia University.

About the Authors

Peter Blachly is FF Blachly's grandson and an author in his own right. His grandfather's manuscript was lost for more than 60 years until after the death of Peter's aunt, when it was found, still intact, under a stair in her garage. Peter took it upon himself to edit and publish the book with the help of his younger daughter, who transcribed the manuscript from FF Blachly's hand-typed pages.

Sathari Khalsa is FF Blachly's great-granddaughter and the daughter of My First LIfe's editor, Peter Blachly. Over the course of the winter of 2022, she transcribed her great-grandfather's manuscript into electronic form so that it could be edited and published by her father.
