Tales from Jackpine Bob [Paperback]

Bob Cary (Author), Susan Gustafson (Editor)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

September 1995
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?

Editorial Reviews

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

From the Publisher

In twenty-two superb tales about his life in the outdoors, bob Cary delights the reader. His stories are filled with his love of shared laughter and the Ojibwa spirit. Bob brings his gentle, kind, and self-effacing humor to every story. Throughout the book, his compassion for others and his love of the outdoors underlies every tale.
