There are many truths and the one in power changes the rules of the game. What this country was at the turn of the century, may never be again. About the Author Steven Gene Brownell was born in October of 1953 in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. He is the third generation of rugged individualists known as cowboys. Although he played cowboy in his youth, Brownell is grateful he was shown the race horse instead of the bucking horse. Brownsell attended nine different schools growing up in a variety of states, from New Mexico to Arizona and California to Colorado. Formal education was always supplemented with participation in sports, and there was always a horse to ride or care for. His early thoughts for writing, instead of playing professional baseball, were met without encouragement and remained only thoughts. It was not until he failed to conform to the college lifestyle that the experience ignited a flame to place words on paper. This story is the result of that lifelong spark.
