J. D. was born in Montana, where his roots go back to the early 1800's. Both sets of his grandparents homesteaded in Montana; on his mother's side, on a dry land wheat farm in Central Montana, Highwood to be exact. On his father's side it was on a cattle ranch in south central Montana, in the little town of Edgar, where he went to school with the Crow Indian children from Pryor, Montana.
He traveled widely in the Navy and worked in the logging industry as well as an Operating Engineer, building roads and dams. However, he always came back to the homestead during winter to help feed cattle with his dad.
J. D. is married with two children, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. This is J. D. Oliver's eighth book. His first seven titles include: I Awoke to Silence, Wail Not!, Hope Dies Last, As the Eagle Flies, Trego, The Way Home and Timberline. Read More Read Less
