LandMarked: Stories of Peggy Simson Curry
Introduction by Mary Alice Gunderson
Peggy Simson Curry has long been recognized as one of the West’s most
accomplished and respected writers. She drew deeply on firsthand experiences
with ranching, putting
up hay, life in the oil fields, observing nature, and
exploring the outdoors.
Her memorable short stories, many set on Wyoming and Colorado ranches, originally appeared in magazines during the heyday of short stories in the 1950s-60s. Now they are available in book form. This collection includes two Spur winners and stories from Saturday Evening Post, Boy’s Life and other magazines.
" ... only the most memorable short stories stick, after the passage of time.
I can recall, clearly and with much detail, not just one, but three of the
stories of Peggy Simson Curry ... Indeed, 'Geranium House' comes near to the
work of Willa Cather and Hamlin Garland."
