Born Peggy Anderson-Simson on December 30th, 1911 in Dunure, Ayrshire, Scotland, Peggy Simson Curry was a renowned Wyoming native writer, scholar, educator, and a loving wife and mother. She is most famous throughtout Colorado and Wyoming for being a historic poet, fiction writer, novelist, and an English teacher at Casper College for over 25 years. She grew up in the West roping and riding on a small ranch in Colorado, and then Wyoming. Her childhood growing up on a ranch inspired her to write incredible stories and she made an entire career out of writing unique characters into pictures of the west from early 1950 to 1987. Peggy’s crowning achievement, and what she’s known best for, is being named Wyoming’s First Poet Laureate in January 1980-1981 by Wyoming Governor Ed Herschler, who was a personal fan of Curry’s work in Wyoming.
