Buckskin Tanner is the author - Jaime Jackson! - who narrates the story of his adventure into natural tanning, beginning in the early 1950s at Disneyland's Indian Village, where, as a young boy, his father took him to meet elder Native Americans brought by Walt Disney to guide park technicians construct the village. This was during the year before the park officially opened. "I remember a dialogue between my father and some of the Indians about native tanning and the hide tipis put together there. The women traditionally tanned the hides and sewed them together into tipis. But the hides used here were commercially tanned. I wondered how they did the tanning during the bygone buffalo days. And that is how it all began for me."

Jaime Jackson is the author of many books. His first book, The Canvas Tipi, published in 1982, provided readers with templates for making their own tipi based on those he made for people in his industrial sewing shop he ran in the 1970s. His first book about horses, The Natural Horse: Lessons From the Wild (1992), was based on his research of America's wild, free-roaming horses. It is credited as the foundational work that gave birth to the modern "natural horse care" revolution. His most current book, Horse Trek-Into the Mystic details his extraordinary ten year journey leading to his book The Natural Horse.
