Nancy Owens Barnes not only watched her parents' dream weave its way through the lives of her family, but she boarded the Red Dog for the first leg of its journey along the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers. Born in eastern Oklahoma and raised in Oklahoma and Arkansas, she moved to Alaska after the Red Dog's arrival there in 1973. She lived in Alaska twenty-five years before moving to northern Idaho in 1999. Barnes received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Vermont College of Norwich University where she studied creative writing. Her writing (including narrative nonfiction and poetry) has been published in a number of magazines and literary journals, such as We Alaskans, Idaho Magazine, Northern Reach, The Lyric, and Snowy Egret, the oldest independent journal of nature writing in the United States. Barnes is the author of three books and is a member of the Idaho Writers League. |
