Dr. Michael Allen |
"When I was a little kid growing up in eastern Washington State, one of my favorite toys was a
jigsaw puzzle of the United States of America. I loved putting the different colored states
together, learning their names, and dreaming of someday visiting them all and learning all about
America. As it turned out, I have had the honor of being able to pursue a career in American
History and do just that. I am still working with that American puzzle."
Mike Allen was born and raised in Ellensburg, Washington. After serving with the U. S. Marines in Vietnam, he worked for three years as a towboat deckhand and cook on the
Mississippi River. He earned his BA, MA, and Ph.D. in early American history from, respectively,
Central Washington State College, University of Montana, and University of Washington. He has
taught at Tennessee Technological University, Deep Springs College, Montana State University,
Billings, and, since 1990, at UW Tacoma.
Mike Allen has published five books: WESTERN RIVERMEN, 1763-1861 (1990); FRONTIERS OF WESTERN HISTORY (1997, with Mary Hanneman); RODEO COWBOYS IN THE NORTH AMERICAN IMAGINATION (1998); A PATRIOT'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES (with Larry Schweikart); and CONGRESS AND THE WEST, 1783- 1787 (forthcoming). Mike Allen is President of the Ellensburg Rodeo Hall of Fame. He lives in Tacoma with his three children Jim, Davy, and Caroline.
