Biographical Note

John I. White was a writer, singer of cowboy songs, and map draftsman. He was born in Washington, D.C. on April 12, 1902 and died in Maplewood, N.J. on November 26, 1992. White recorded 20 cowboy and hillbilly songs for the American Record Corporation in 1929-30. Some were recorded under his various pseudonyms: The Lonesome Cowboy, Whitey Johns, The Lone Star Cowboy, The Old Sexton, Jimmie Price, and Frank Ranger. His singing career culminated with his portrayal of "The Lonesome Cowboy" on the NBC radio drama "Death Valley Days" sponsored by Twenty-Mule Team Borax from 1929-1936. He maintained a lifelong interest in cowboy songs and the American West, researching and writing articles and two books on this and other topics.
