A writer, retired teacher, and historian, Egan is the author of six books including Frémont: Explorer for a Restless Nation, for which he won the Gold Medal for nonfiction from the Commonwealth Club of California. He received the Silver Medal for Sand in a Whirlwind and the California Medal for The El Dorado Trail. He now resides in Berkeley, California.
Sand in a Whirlwind is a dramatic account of the events surrounding hostilities between white settlers and Indians in the spring of 1860. Thirty years after its publication, Ferol Egan's now classic tale continues to enlighten and engage readers.
