Biographical Note
Jay Ellis Ransom was born in Missoula, Montana in 1914. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1935. The following year the Bureau of Indian Affairs sent him to Nikolski, Alaska, where he served as a community worker and teacher, accompanied by his wife Barbara Callaran. He later worked in Stevens Village, Alaska. After his time in Alaska, Ransom earned a Master’s Degree from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Ransom was a prolific writer. In addition to working for newspapers such as the Oregon City Enterprise-Courier, the Oregon Journal, the Siskiyou Daily News, the Pacifica Tribune, the Sacramento Bee, and the Oxnard Press-Courier, he worked as a free-lance writer, and was a contract writer for Harper & Row Publishers, for whom he wrote such books as Gems and Minerals of North America and The Gold Hunter’s Field Guide. He also wrote about anthropology, education, and linguistics.
Starting in the early 1970s, Ransom resided in The Dalles, Oregon. He was active in community affairs, and served on the Wasco County Juvenile Services Commission.
In the early 1990s, Ransom was involved in the controversy concerning the usage and preservation of the Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming. Ransom argued that the wheel was an Aztec-Tanoan cosmological structure, and that claims of modern-day Native American tribes having used the site for spiritual purposes were false.
Ransom was married three times. His first wife was Barbara Elizabeth Callarman, with whom he had two children, Jay Frederick and Alix-Gay. His second wife was Frances Lake McKenna. His final and longest marriage was with Dutch-born Wilma Johanna Buitelaar, with whom he had three children: Scott; Lisa Johanna; Stuart.
