Mike Hoggan is a retired Wildlife Service Specialist and a part-time sheepherder. He is a passionate historian with an incredible memory for preserving stories before they are forgotten. His love for history and talent for bringing it to life inspired this book-a heartfelt collection of on-the-job memories and experiences that honor the people, places, and events that shaped his life and community.When not working on the farm alongside his wife Maureen, Mike can usually be found fixing things, putting up hay, or helping the neighbors harvest grain. After years of making things work with only the bare necessities, problem-solving has become second nature to him. His work raising Hampshire and Suffolk sheep brings him both joy and purpose, and he feels truly at home on the farm where he shares hard work, laughter, and quiet moments with Maureen.For Mike, writing this book was a way to preserve history and the cherished stories he holds close to his heart. It's more than just a recollection; it's a celebration of the people, lessons, values, and animals that give meaning to our lives. Mike and Maureen live in the untamed beauty of Montana. See less
