About the author
Albert Robison Lyman (1880–1973) was born in Utah, and became a Mormon missionary. He had to give up missionary work because of poor health, and returned to Utah, where he married and ran a small farm. He wrote endlessly: 70 volumes of his “Thots” – every important thought that occurred to him, 41 volumes of diaries, an autobiography, and several books. Amongst his books, several of which seem to have a Western theme, was one horse story, The Native Blood.
