Sinners & Saints: Tales of Old Laramie City
Gladys Beery
Meet the Sinners and the Saints of historic Laramie City, Wyoming—from the end-of-track gang hanged by vigilantes to prohibition-era moonshiners.
Enjoy the tales of Asa Moyer, who met his death by rope; Katie Trabing, a girl traded for a sack of flour; Bronco Sam, a black cowboy hero and murderer; Nettie Stewart, a prostitute with friends in high places; Martha Symons-Bois, the first lady bailiff in the world; William Crout, who had so many wives he lost count; Luther, a ghost who watches Laramie from a window; Minnie Wurl, murdered while tending the cows; Suzy Parker, a savvy black madam; and many more.
"Beery's natural storytelling skills.and her historic insights.are
joined in Sinners & Saints. .a compelling blend of her own thoughts and the
recorded words of the characters she presents."
