Dan Davis
Born on July 10, 1953, in Pierre, South Dakota, Davis is a United States citizen who worked as a jockey and as a drug trafficker, and who set down an account of his life as an autobiographer. His autobiography constitutes the written work through which he is identified in the Library of Congress Name Authority File under the authorized label Davis, F. Daniel.
Davis attended Black Hills State University and later the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, giving his educational background a span across two institutions and two regions of the American West. Born in Pierre, he grew into occupations that placed him in two sharply different spheres — competitive horse racing and drug trafficking — before turning to autobiographical writing as a means of recording that experience.
The Library of Congress Name Authority File carries his name in the authorized form Davis, F. Daniel, which represents the formal bibliographic record connecting him to his written work. That cataloguing entry is the concrete institutional marker associated with Davis as an autobiographer, and it remains the documented point at which his life as a jockey and drug trafficker from Pierre, South Dakota, intersects with the permanent infrastructure of American bibliographic practice.
