ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jack Ballas served in the U.S. Navy for 22 years, and received 12 battle stars and numerous campaign ribbons for his service. In his younger days he ran a honky-tonk saloon in the South (with the help of a 12-gauge shotgun), rode the rails, and found himself lost deep in the Everglades. He was taken in by a band of Seminole Indians, whom he credits with saving his life. Ballas resided in Fort Worth for the remainder of his life, writing many books about the west that he loved so much.
