Gerald Johnson Interview

Gerald Johnson was a guide in Burleigh. In his interview, he talks about guiding Americans for fishing, and their poor reactions when they weren't able to catch anything. The tourists assumed that Johnson was "holding out on them," despite doing his job. When Gerald first started working, he was employed as a duck hunter at 18-19. Gerald's uncle was also a duck hunter but was killed during the First World War after he enlisted. Gerald also made decoy duck carvings for duck hunting. Gerald continues his interview talking about the fishing and frogging season in Burleigh. He touches again on guiding, American tourism to Burleigh and surrounding lakes, and other guides as well. Gerald finishes the interview by describing duck hunting with decoys and processing them once they were caught.
