Sam Morton
Sam Morton, a horse trainer for over thirty years, was raised on a cattle farm in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The youngest of six children of Mary Virginia and Thomas Edward Morton, Sam graduated from Pinecrest High School in 1975 and Guilford College in 1981 with a degree in history. During the summers Sam served as a wilderness guide in the Bighorn Mountains, and he also took a year off from school to work on the chemical docks during the roaring seventies in Houston.
Experience the untamed beauty of early America in Where the Rivers Run North, a new historical novel from Sam Morton. Morton's extensively researched fiction carries the reader through three eras in the history of Abraska, or what is now southern Montana and northern Wyoming. From the days when Native American tribes dominated the landscape to the hardships of fledgling pioneer life to times of fast-paced modern development, Where the Rivers Run North introduces a shifting cast of characters as intriguing as they are diverse. One thread runs throughout--the figure of the horse, whether running wild on the plains or competing on the racetrack.Available in July 2007
