About the Author
Rick Goff was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1930. The author has experienced many of the actual scenes and researched others—including the historical site of his novel. Residing sixty-five years in Great Falls, Montana, has allowed him to hunt, fish, trap, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
Sergeant Goff’s military career included an assignment to occupied Germany where he fell in love with a Polish national, Elizabeth Bordlowna. They married in 1951 and Rick’s next duty station was the Great Falls Air Force Base. Rick and Elizabeth had two children, Michael and Christine. Rick’s marriage ended after sixty-two years with the passing of Elizabeth in 2014.
Montana’s splendor, its wealth of history, and the courageous pioneers inspired the author to write The Dearborn Yarn. Rick’s first novel reminds you of an appreciation for the better lifestyle of today.
