Synopsis
For nearly twenty years, Gordon Sinclair Jr . has been a writer for the Winnipeg Free Press , producing thrice-weekly, wide-ranging columns on whatever catches his eye about the city. Sometimes it is about wild trips with Governor General Ed Schreyer and writer Farley Mowat, sometimes it is about investigating a police shooting where the whole police department seems intent on covering up the truth. Sinclair pursued the story of the shooting of J.J. Harper so single-mindedly and so painstakingly, he became a character in this remarkable story, and a target for the police. He won a Manitoba Human Rights Award and a National Newspaper Award (the first of two) for his columns on the Harper case. Today, he lives in Winnipeg and continues to write for the Winnipeg Free Press . Cowboys and Indians is his first book.
