Description

Regional/Nature

A handsomely illustrated account, now in paperback for the first time.

Florence Page Jaques and her husband, Francis Lee Jaques, who illustrates this classic with beautiful black-and-white nature drawings, experience an unusually thrilling winter vacation following the waterfowl migration. Beginning with a duck-hunting go back and forth in Minnesota, Florence writes a full of life and detailed account in their go back and forth down the Mississippi flyway, through the White River bottom swamps in Arkansas, and across the Rainey Natural world Sanctuary within the marshlands of Louisiana.

“Mrs. Jaques’ text, like her commentary, is artless and fresh. She observes right away, never coolly, and with like spontaneity sets both her commentary and her reaction to it.” Saturday Review

“This is a hearty, outdoors book, full of wind and sky color, full of feeling for things and places.” New York Herald Tribune

A poet and nature author, Florence Page Jaques (1890-1972) collaborated with her husband on eight books, including Canoe Country and Snowshoe Country, reissued by the University of Minnesota Press in 1999.

Francis Lee Jaques (1887-1969) spent his childhood in Aitkin, Minnesota. His art is world renowned, with major collections housed within the American Museum of Natural History and the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History in Minneapolis.
