A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone. < p/> He began tutoring J. A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western History library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J. A. worked hard--and learned. < p/> "Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. 'Keep the historical facts accurate, ' he would say. 'Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J. A. Johnstone you can be.'"
