Few authors of Western history live farther from the location of their subjects or are as passionate for their topic as Australian author James B. Mills. Along with his fellow countryman Peter Brand, Mills is producing some of the most original research in the Old West genre. Like his long-distance predecessor Englishman Frederick Nolan, Mills works from many miles away. But, unlike Nolan, Mills has the advantage of being able to ply his craft in the digital age and do his research from his home in the Southern Hemisphere. And ply it Mills does with determined pursuit of the truth and undiscovered and unmined information on his subject matter.
