Mountain Woman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456316785)

Johnny Fowler grew up on a cattle ranch in west Texas. This experience was invaluable in giving an insight into life in the real West. Working with third and fourth generation cowboys, he listened to stories passed down through the generations about life on the frontier. They told of hardships and the struggle to survive in the vast expanse of the west when the population was scarce. His grandfather, a pioneer doctor, also shared many experiences about his life on the frontier, treating patients by horseback. Johnny worked on a sixty thousand acre ranch throughout high school and college. He graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in business administration and began ranching for himself while employed by the USDA. While with the USDA he wrote newsletters for producers, and articles for agriculture publications and newspapers, which included methods for establishing wildlife habitats, managing native pastures and conservation of our natural resources. He has now converted the knowledge gained from his ranching experience and education into writing historical western novels.
