Bret Marchant

Born in Lovell, Wyoming, Bret Marchant spent a good part of his youth in and around the Crow Reservation in Montana. As a boy growing into a man, Bret tended cows on a ranch that extended from the Bighorn River to the east to the Pryor Mountains to the west. The Bighorn Basin was his front yard. He knows this land and shared his knowledge in a coffee-table full-color history book of the area called "A Clear View of the Pryors."

Growing up in the Bighorn Basin, Bret Marchant listened to Crow Indian Elders talk of the Nirumbee. As he grew older, Bret began collecting his own research on The Little People. What he found prompted him to dramatize their story in The Little People series. Bret also writes songs, plays the guitar, and has six albums of country western music.
