Samuel Engelman

Born and reared on a cattle ranch in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, Samuel Engelman was introduced to a thoroughly "western" lifestyle at a young age. For the first two decades of his life he was immersed in ranchwork and cowboying and this fact is reflected in his writing giving it a very authentic essence. While attending college, Samuel studied History and his elective topics focused heavily on the time period immediately following the Civil War through the turn of the 20th century. In 2011 Samuel graduated with honors from Southwestern Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor's degree in History and Political Science. New to the world of writing, this amateur's hope is to bring authenticity and personal experience to his audience, while also melding into his stories the flare and grit that make history into legend. Engelman, now age 23, is currently making his living in the oilfields of Oklahoma and Texas.
