Biography
Born in Boston, I have lived in New York City off and on since high school. As a sportswriter I had a therapy session with Mike Tyson's hypnotist and broke my arm profiling pro arm wrestlers for the Village Voice; I have written Op-Eds for both the NY Times and Wall Street Journal, was an editor and staff writer at American Heritage for five years, and am the author of a book about the true criminal story that inspired Elia Kazan's masterpiece, On the Waterfront, DARK HARBOR: The War for the New York Waterfront (FSG, 2010). For the New York Times, in 2009 I profiled a group of New York painters who had known the KGB spy Rudolf Abel during his tenure posing as an artist in Brooklyn Heights in the 1950s. When my FIA request declassified hundreds of pages of Abel's FBI interrogation sessions, I published an ebook about his career in America, drawing on these many unseen documents, THE AMATEUR: Artists & Spies in Cold War Brooklyn (iTunes Store, 2014; Kindle Amazon version, 2016). In 2015, I published THE LOST DETECTIVE: Becoming Dashiell Hammett (Bloomsbury), about the youth and Pinkerton career of our greatest crime writer. It has been well reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, O Magazine, and was nominated for an Edgar Award as well as the Bouchercon Anthony Award. My latest book, SON OF THE OLD WEST: The Odyssey of Charlie Siringo, was published by Grove Atlantic in Sept. 2023.It won the Will Rogers Medallion award. (Now in paperback).

By Nathan Ward| The Mountain Mail Verified The Panorama lift creaks up slowly to the top of the world in Colorado, the spine of the Continental Divide, the high point of Monarch Mountain. Slide off the lift, turn right and ski over to the top of the first run you find. Look down over the chunked-up bumps dropping steeply down the mountain, it’s a minefield of moguls strewn with occasional half-hidden big rocks where willing skiers and snowboarders huck their bodies into the air at high speed, twist around and try to land again, with style.
By Nathan Ward| The Mountain Mail Verified Imagine a sport where kids perch on the top of the steepest, most difficult ski runs in North America with their ski or snowboard tips jutting out over the void. A judge counts down 3, 2, 1 and the kid drops in, choosing their own line down the mountain, over drops, wild conditions and cliff bands. On the way down they’re judged on how fast they ride, how stylishly they ski and of course, what big tricks they throw down in the challenging terrain.
