Born in Indiana but swept by the lure of the West, Adams spent the better part of his youth as a cowboy and trail driver, experiences which furnished the material for his writing career. He began to write at the age of 43, turning his rich firsthand experiences into narratives that captured the lives of the cowboys and the cattle industry with unprecedented realism and detail.
