About Me

Drifting Cowboy
My goal in writing this blog is to answer to the questions I wish I had asked my granddad... I am a horseman, a canoeist, a Western movie historian, a genealogist, and a folk artist. My cowboy and voyageur legacy can be back-trailed for more than twelve generations in North America.
