And so with a lust for high adventure, Jack emigrated to Canada in 1925 at the age of 19. And although it may not have seemed like it at the time, he was not disappointed in his quest. ' He worked as a farm laborer on the prairies; felled trees and scaled logs on the West Coast: lost everything he owned in a forest fire; drove a cab in Van- couver (on skidroad and the.af- fluent Shaughnessy: rode the rods; slept in hobo Heights); jungles; starved; froze; and even spent a night in jail. ‘But these ‘early immigrant years were to stand him in good stead for his two ‘“‘lifetime careers’? — 21 years in the RCMP and nearly two decades in industry at Kitimat. After retiring in 1970, Jack Fossum turned to writing. It was a natural choice since one of his - later jobs for Alcan had been editor of the company newspaper, The Ingot.. Printer’s ink seemed to have gotten into his blood. Among other things, he was copy editor of the Comox.

The second part is about his years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police where he saw action in the Vancouver and Edmonton disturbances and the On-To-Ottawa Trek. The . third part deals with the early days of Kitimat, the ‘‘instant town’’. Mancatcher is -an excellent read. It's sad and funny and ‘serious all rolled into one.
