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 his latest 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.
After working many years for Sears, he then wrote and produced a series of magazines called "Ford Life". In 1972 He moved his family to St. Helena, CA. Lorin then became a writer and full time historian. He wrote 15 books including Ford V8, Hot Rods, American Ford, 75th Anniversary of Ford Motor Company, Beringer Vineyards History, and produced and wrote many videos on the auto industry.
His most recent book, Old Time Rodeo, was finished in December 2008. It allowed him to use his rodeo and cowboy pictures in a beautiful book on the beginning of "Rodeo in America". This book has become his proudest and favorite career achievement.
