A 51-year old Message to the American People

On the 50th anniversary of JFK's death, I remind everyone that on August 15, 1962, John F. Kennedy spoke to delegates from some 90 tribes on the South Lawn at the White House. He told them: “I hope that this visit here, which is more than ceremonial, will be a reminder to all Americans of the number of Indians whose housing is inadequate, whose education is inadequate, whose employment is inadequate, whose health is inadequate, whose security and old age is inadequate—a very useful reminder that there is still a good deal of unfinished business.” 

It is indeed sad that after more than 51 years many of these issues that President Kennedy spoke of are still unfulfilled today.

About the Novel:

Torn between two different worlds, Jim Buchanan, the son of a Scottish immigrant and a Native American woman, had it all--a lucrative sports career and celebrity status. But it wasn't enough to satisfy a deeper hunger. So he sacrificed it all to return to his roots, to the land he knew and loved.

In fictional Cedar County, Montana, Sheriff Buchanan is the law. When the FBI approaches him concerning a missing persons investigation, it threatens not only his own life but also the life of the person dearest to his heart.

In his attempt to crack the case, Jim comes to grip with a long-held family secret and experiences the mystical nature of his Native American heritage.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author:

The son of a Scottish immigrant and a Native American woman, Jim Buchanan found his glory on the gridiron. After a star-studded college career and three years with the Chicago Bears, Jim Buchanan retired from football. A deeper hunger within his soul compelled him to yearn for something more.

A hitch in the United States Air Force as a military policeman piqued his interest in law enforcement and upon returning to the states he joined the Montana Highway Patrol. Three years later he was elected county sheriff.

Montana Harvest begins in the spring of Jim Buchanan's first year as sheriff of Cedar County, Montana.
