Truex, William M.

Abstract:

Truex, a history teacher who resides in Ohio, writes of the duck decoys he found on a trip to the Outer Banks. He discovered Outer Banks' decoys have a lack of refinement in design and are more crudely made than those of other areas. Materials used were mostly regional such as canvas over a wire frame, and discarded sections of power line poles, spars from wrecked ships, and fence posts.
