Wheatgrass presents a book signing with Jim Overstreet during the last Art Walk of the summer on Friday, August 22nd from 5 to 8 pm.
Jim will sign copies of his book Rodeo in the Blood series.
Jim Overstreet is a lifelong cowboy and author of A Montana Rivalry. Raising horses for most of his life, he earned multiple titles in tie down roping, from youth rodeo to the senior circuit. As an accomplished writer, his work has been published in national magazines including Reader’s Digest, Persimmon Hill and numerous equine magazines, including Western Horseman. The American Horse Publications honored him as a winner in their Feature Article category.
Jim grew up on the Sun Ranch, a large cattle and horse ranch in the Madison Valley in southwest Montana with his father, an avid horseman and well-respected cowboy in the area who helped him begin training horses. Jim would later learn from Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance.
Jim’s adult life was filled with roping and rodeos along with raising two daughters with his wife amongst his many horses in the shadow of Montana’s Crazy Mountains.
Jim loves to write, except when he hates it, and although he is old enough to know better, Jim still rides and trains horses. He is passionate about telling stories of the contemporary West that demonstrate the physical toughness, mental determination, and dependence on community inherent to ranching and rodeo. His first book, A Montana Rivalry, released by Palmetto Publishing in fall of 2023, is the first book in the Rodeo in The Blood Series. Since then, three more have been published: A Montana Inheritance, A Montana Feud, and The Canadian Horse.
