He grew up loving the town, its placement on the Mohawk River and on the Erie Canal, the history of the native Americans who lived there. He also loved to write jingles and poems about the places he knew and the people he met. When he was in his late 20s, he wrote an exciting childrens adventure, For the Freedom of the Mohawk, a book about the Revolutionary War and the friendship between two boys, a native American Indian and a local son.
Much later, after becoming a father himself, Mr. Jacobson wrote about Bobby and his adventures with Captain Seaspirit, who took him on an amazing voyage aboard his magical sailing ship. There he gets to meet the strange crew the good Captain had assembled the unusual twins, a cook who cooks ice cream, a shipwrecked sailor and the skinny queen among others.
Mr. Jacobson was my Dad and the Bobby of the book was named for my brother Bobby. The book was written in the early 1940s and was the joy of my childhood. I loved the characters and wed talk about them as though they truly existed. My Dad would often remind me when I wasnt behaving of the characters Mr Meanie and Mr. Jolly Goodfellow and whom I should allow into my life.lihat lebih sedikit
