Jerry Cowley

Jerry Cowley loves to tell stories from the Old West, and specializes in stories about Idaho.  She promotes the gathering and telling of family history and stories so that families can pass their own unique heritage to their children.  Folktales from several pioneer heritages enliven her repertoire.

A published writer of news articles, essays, reviews, some poetry and lyrics, Ms. Cowley began active storytelling in 1992.  She brings experience from reporting, teaching, and library careers to her history as a fourth-generation Idahoan. Together they blend into a connection between audiences and the past.

She has a Bachelor of Arts degree with six separate language arts endorsements plus a librarian's certificate.
