Lorin Sorensen

Lorin Sorensen saw his first rodeo at the War Bonnet Roundup in Idaho Falls as a youngster, an experience among others that would inspire him to one day write this book.

He was born and raised on a ranch near Rigby, Idaho, which is in Shoshone and Snake River country over by the Grand Tetons. It dates back in his family to the 1890s.

Educated in the field of ranching, Lorin became a nationally-known historian and author. Old-Time Rodeo is his fifteenth book. Others include the books for Ford Motor Company’s 75th Anniversary, and Sears Roebuck’s 100th Anniversary.

As a historian he has appeared on the A&E Biography Channel and Public Television’s History Detectives.
