About the author

James and Fran Daniel chose to live a life that was from another time and is foreign to modern Americans. James Daniel could have easily lived in the 1850s, ‘60s, and ‘70s – maybe more so than the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. James and Fran lived liked pioneers. They didn’t have much, but made-do with what they had. They lived off the land and raised and cared for their livestock, James broke and trained cutting horses, and they named every animal that they owned. They had four boys and raised them to love creation, but more than that, the Creator.
