Tales from the Range: Stories from the Saddle

Emery, Cecil G.: - Ron Hamm has enjoyed four careers over a sixty-year working span: as a newspaper and wire service journalist, as a public relations practitioner, as a college teacher working around the globe from Haiti to Argentina, and most recently as an author. Like Cecil Emery, he enjoys telling stories, especially about that most fascinating of all creatures-mankind. The more complex his subject the better he enjoys telling of them. His most recent biography, "Ross Calvin: Interpreter of the American Southwest," certainly fit that bill. Hamm's most challenging project to date has been "Mothers, Lovers and Others: Four Centuries of Notable New Mexico Women and Their Legacies."
