John Hafnor

John Hafnor launched the "strange history" book phenomenon in 1982 with Black Hills Believables. Hafnor taught history at National College, and hit the lecture circuit with his humorous "Hidden Histories." He authored best-selling books for Colorado and South Dakota and the German-language Wahres aus dem Wilden Westen.

Hafnor lives on the the edge of the Rocky Mountains near Fort Collins, Colorado. He enjoys trail runs, mountain biking and soccer.

Hafnor's acclaimed Strange But True, America is a 50-state tour de force of every oddball fact missing from standard history books. His biographical novel Lakota Cowboy was a Gold Medal winner in the Will Rogers Western Literature Awards.
