Theodore Anthony Gould, an aerospace engineer, is a native of Chicago, Illinois and a 1950 graduate of Englewood High School. It was there that he first learned of the association of a black American at the Custer disaster, from the book "Sitting Bull" by Stanley Vestal (1932).
Mr. Gould's burning desire to know more about this unsung frontiersman  haunted him for decades. Though the U.S. Army knew of  Dorman's activities,contributions, bravery and death, the times would not permit that acknowledgement.The press of the 1800s refused to list his name among those killed. This gnawing quest for truth drove the author to investigate the saga of Isaiah Dorman, the black man at the Little Big Horn.
Mr. Gould earned a bachelors degree in history from the University of Nebraska, at Omaha: a bachelors degree in aerospace management from Metropolitan State College, at Denver, Colorado; and a masters degree in public administration, from the University of Colorado, at Boulder.
He is a United States Air Force veteran of twenty-one years who flew 115 combat missions in Vietnam. He is a member of the Civil Air Patrol; holds a commercial pilot's license; and is an FAA certified flight instructor.
