Biographical History
American author of young adult fiction; noted for his outdoor stories for boys.
Jim (James Arthur) Kjelgaard was born December 5, 1910 in New York City. He grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania and later studied for 2 years at Syracuse U. in New York. In 1938 he decided to pursue a career in writing, and in 1941 published his first book for young adults, Forest Patrol. The story was based on the wilderness experiences of his brother, a forest ranger, and himself. During the next 18 years he wrote many books for young adults. His stories featured engaging animals, colorful characters, and distinctive settings. Some of his books drew on his own experiences, while others were works of historical fiction. The wilderness, either contemporary or historical, served as the setting for most of his books, and he researched his settings carefully through travel and reading. Critics and reviewers praised his works for telling a good story with simplicity, and for his fine plots and action. In 1957 he received the Western Writers of American Spur Award for Wolf Brother, a story about an Apache Indian warrior who is forced to take refuge with a renegade band. Jim Kjelgaard died on July 12, 1959, in Milwaukee.
