DUCK FEATHERS & GOPHER TAILS: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JACK MCPHERSON

Edited by Wes Henderson

Ottawa, Wes Henderson & Associates, 1990. 74pp, paper, $12.95

Grades 6 and up/Ages 11 and up
Reviewed by Irene Gordon.

Volume 18 Number 6
1990 November


Jack McPherson, 1915-1983, was a farm broadcaster born in rural Saskatch­ewan. His story might better be called a family history than an autobiography. While it does contain some interesting information on Saskatchewan farm life during the 1920s and 1930s, the book would be of limited interest to anyone but family and friends of the author.

Not recommended.
