Donald McCaig

I read Donald McCaig's border collie novel, Nop's Trials, when I was helping raise sheep on my dad's farm in Athens in the late 1970's. McCaig lives somewhere near Monteray, Virginia in the foothills of the Blueridge. Born in Montana, McCaig has written about the Bozeman Trail, and a Civil War novel based on slave narratives called Jacob's Ladder: A Story of Virginia During the War.
