Jim Fischer
When Jim was just shy of ten years old he saw his first cowboys, Indians and
rodeo and decided when he grew up he wanted to be a cowboy. Fate has been kind
enough to allow him to do so, off and on throughout his life. In between trips
to the west he has worked on the Great Lakes, design and built C.A.T. Scanners,
and is a self-taught leather worker, building custom saddles. Working on ranches
in Montana and at Custer State Park on the annual buffalo roundups has given him
firsthand experience as a cowboy and knowledge of working cowboy saddles and
equipment. Jim is a member of the Western Writers of America and co-author of
the book Custer's Horses, Wolfe Publishing, 2001 Prescott, Az. Jim has articles
in Buckskin Report, Cowboy Magazine, and a story Snow Angels is in the
collection Tales From Cowboy Country, Range Writer, Inc., 2005, La Veta,
Colorado. Retired, he is writing about his experiences in the West, the people
he's met, and the stories they've told him. Jim and his wife Candy live in
Vermilion, Ohio, on the south shore of Lake Erie.
