"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." •• Walter Edens, Professor Emeritus, University of Wyoming
Gladys B. Beery was born in northeastern Nebraska. At the age of two weeks, she moved with her parents to Montana. Later the family moved to northeastern Colorado, then to central Nebraska where she met her future husband, Lloyd Beery. In 1956 the Beerys moved, with their three children, to Laramie, Wyoming.
During the years when she worked in the offices of the Albany County Engineer and County Clerk and Recorder, she became interested in the history of Wyoming and the city of Laramie. This interest brought about a series of stories on the historic homes of Laramie which was published in the Laramie Daily Boomerang and its supplement The Picket Pen.
She was the author of Mule Woman, Front Streets of Laramie, and Sinners and Saints: Tales of Old Laramie City.
