The Adventures of the Montana Buckaroos in the Cattle Drive - Oliver J. D.

The Montana Buckaroos are two cousins, ages 7 and 9 years old. They lived in south central Montana with their grandparents during the 1940's. The Buckaroos, Matthew and Tell, didn't have a mean bone in their bodies, but they did love adventure, and I guess, you might say, that adventure is another word for trouble.

And trouble seemed to come easy for the boys, just like falling off a log. Even when they were on their best behavior, trouble was in their boots.

This story should appeal to children from nine to ninety because at one time or another we have all been or would have liked to be free to roam wherever the wind blew.

About the Author:

J. D. Oliver highlights the struggle between good and evil in all his work, whether it is novels or the Cowboy Poetry he writes and performs. History, incredible knowledge of the world and the type of people who inhabit it are all present in his work.

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.
