My Story
John Jefferson is a dedicated American historian and storyteller, rooted in the heart of the Midwest. From his home in Clarksville, Iowa, he brings to life the trials, triumphs, and transformation of the original thirteen colonies through the acclaimed historical series Our Great Nation.
With a passion for uncovering the human spirit behind historical fact, Jefferson focuses on the real people who shaped America—pioneers, farmers, soldiers, and families—whose voices echo across time. His work blends rigorous research with compelling narrative, aiming to inspire modern readers with the grit, faith, and founding ideals that forged the United States.
Raised among Iowa’s wide skies and enduring communities, Jefferson draws on the local values of hard work, honesty, and neighborly respect. Whether writing in the early morning hours or walking the trails along the Cedar River for inspiration, his goal remains the same: to honor the ordinary men and women who built an extraordinary nation.
When not writing, John can often be found exploring historic sites with his family, tending a modest vegetable garden, or attending local book clubs and history forums. He believes America’s story belongs to every citizen and that understanding where we come from is the first step to understanding where we are going.
