Young Midlow had a burning desire to see the West. As the talk from a favorite uncle and others glorified this wild untamed land the desire grew. Late one night, he crept from the house, when all the family was asleep in bed, he took one old mule to travel with along the way. He soon found the glory and romance of the West was also dangerous and hard. He slept in the cold and had to scavenge and forage for every bite he ate. None of the hardships, however dimmed his enthusiasm for this adventure into the large wild West. His persistence led him through many adventures. He traveled with a wagon train and provided them with fresh meat. He then became a buffalo hunter where he met his two friends, who later became partners in the ranch they started in Texas.

He never regretted his decision to travel West.

Autorenporträt
James F. Hill was born in Jasper, Alabama. As a young boy always obsessed with horses and exploring around the country, wishing he had been born in what he called cowboy days. He learned to cook campfire delicacies on the creek banks at the age of nine and ten, crawdads being his specialty. In high school he began to write poems and songs that he kept in a notebook. As an avid reader, the school library was his favorite place. At a young age he hitchhiked across the United States, jumped trains, worked at a variety of jobs, then joined the Army during the Vietnam Era. After the Army, he trained as a barber where many lives touched his, old and young alike. After he married, he and his wife put each other through college. Both graduated from Arkansas State University with a BSE in Education. They traveled from state to state while raising a family of seven, five boys and two girls. His writings reflect the lives of ancestors as well as present day family members places in the plots of the stories. With grandchildren and their everyday lives the stories will never cease with this active story teller.
