Beschrijving

Tales from Jackpine Bob : Life in the North Woods

Imagine sitting near a crackling fire in a clearing surrounded by tall pines. A mug of hot coffee warms your hands. All that’s needed is a tale from Jackpine Bob. Despite Bob’s years as a woodsman, somehow the joke’s always on him. Bob applied deer scent; his wife, Lil, applied perfume-guess who got the deer? Bob ignored the advice of his Indian guide-guess who swamped the canoe?

Review:
Most of us rely on air conditioning for comfort, automobiles for travel, and television sets for entertainment. Bob Cary is more at home with sleeping bag, canoe, and fishing rod. That sets him apart and equips him to tell good stories of an outdoor life well-lived. I envy his knowledge of the outdoors, and I greatly enjoyed his book. — The late Charles Kuralt, CBS journalist
