Favorite Author

As usual, Tim C. did his homework before producing such an informative book. From the smallest detail to well-known facts about Geronimo, Tim leads his readers thru another part of our history. I read this book on a cruise in the library, but I knew I would want to buy my own copy! Tim Champlin is THE western author of our generation!!! Ruth E. Bradley
