Marshall Trimble was born in Ashfork, Arizona, a small cattle shipping and railroad town in the northern part of the state. After a U.S. Marine Corps tour and a college degree, Marshall began a career as a folksinger in the 1960s, developing a love of Western history and folklore. In 1977, Doubleday published his first book, Arizona, and he now has 20 books to his credit. He's also taught Arizona and Western history at Scottsdale Community College since 1972, and he regularly lectures and sings ballads about the Old West. In 1977, the governor of Arizona appointed him Official State Historian. |
