Frontier Partisans

The Adventurers, Rangers and Scouts Who Fought the Battles of Empire

Jim Cornelius


Born in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Jim Cornelius grew up dreaming of distant frontiers, of mountain men, long hunters, African explorers.

His older brother gave him a tattered copy of Allan W. Eckert’s The Frontiersmen, a biography of Simon Kenton, and the twig was bent.

Graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Jim received honors in History even though he primarily focused on a self-directed course in woods running.

He now resides on the high desert of Central Oregon, where he makes his living with his pen. A musician and a songwriter, he also remains a woods runner dreaming of distant frontiers. he is the keeper of the blog Frontier Partisans.com and the author of the book Warriors of the Wildlands: True Tales of the Frontier Partisans.
