Adkins, Mel L.

Mel was born in Guymon Oklahoma in 1947 and has lived part of the lifestyle he writes about. He has rode horses across the Red River, chased cows in Oklahoma and had his horse "Ginger" stuck in quicksand on the Cimarron River. He has drove cattle on the "Old Spanish Trail" and been on a fall roundup in the Fishlake National Forest high above Beaver Utah. He brings the ring of truth and believeability to his writing because he has been there.
