An Elder In A Thriving Native Culture, She Introduced Cryer To The Many Other Authorities From Whom These Stories Were Gathered For The Newspaper.Although She Was Not A Trained Anthropologist, Beryl Cryer Was An Honest Observer And Careful Recorder. She Embellished The Material She Collected With Minor Anecdotal Introductions That Give The Reader A Vivid Sense Of The Person Telling The Story.
