BACKGROUND NOTE
In 1981, Jeanette Kinyon and Jean Walz began to gather
research for a biography of Gladys Pyle, a prominent woman in South
Dakota politics. They interviewed Miss Pyle and researched books,
manuscripts, letters, news stories, editorials, and other interviews.
This collection is a small representation of the research gathered for
this project.
SCOPE and CONTENTS NOTE
“The
Incredible Gladys Pyle” Collection consists of clippings,
correspondence, financial records, manuscripts, research, transcripts
and audio cassettes.
The clippings include advertisements for the published
book and clippings of Gladys Pyle on her 96th birthday. The
correspondence includes letters on the publication of the book and
letters from Gladys Pyle noting corrections for the book. Included is a
handwritten letter from Governor Sigurd Anderson praising Gladys Pyle
and her contributions to South Dakota politics.
The financial records are minimal and include itemized
lists of expenses. There are two manuscripts for the book, one is with
the published title "The Incredible Gladys Pyle", and the other with an
alternative title "Gladys Pyle: Always a Pioneer". The transcripts
appear to accompany only one set of audiocassettes. Included with the
transcripts are notebooks with interview questions for Miss Pyle.
