Wilfred Perry Eberhart was born in Yankton, South Dakota but moved to Colorado when he was three years old and his heart never left. He grew up poor in Denver as one of six children with a single mother whom he adored and whose creative spirit he absorbed. After graduating from East High School, he enlisted in the Navy and spent two years in the Pacific theater during World War II. Afterward, he enrolled at the University of Colorado where he met a lovely woman from Brooklyn, New York named Sandy and they were married in 1949. Son Dan came along soon after and the young family set sail for Paris where Perry studied at the Sorbonne and found his muse as a writer. They returned in time for number two son, Peter whose birth was followed few years later by sisters Medley Ann and Eve Perry embarked on a career in journalism and along the way, developed a deep love for the history of his adopted state.He authored four books about Colorado and doors opened for him to get intrinsically involved in state and local affairs. A roller coaster of successes, failures and health issues underlined the life of a true maverick. The World Lost a Man is his story told lovingly by his son, embellished with Perry’s own poetry.
