About the author
John Newman grew up in rural northern California. He worked in agriculture and later owned a working cattle and wheat ranch near Harlowton, Montana, about which he wrote a history, Tipi Ring Ranch, Before and After the Buffalo archived at the Montana Historical Society. He studied creative writing and biology at Stanford, worked as a river guide on the great rivers of North America, and for over a decade has been a fire lookout.
His interest in native affairs and culture began at an early age when he helped construct the Ishi trail to honor the last surviving member of the Yahi tribe. He also studied the Washoe language with the tribe near Lake Tahoe, their ancestral home, and for many years served as Chairman of the Museum of the American Indian in Marin County, California.
Married and the father of four, John divides his time between Melville, Montana, and northern California.
