Peter Yarrow Autographs
Peter Yarrow (May 31, 1938 – January 7, 2025) was an American singer‑songwriter and social activist best known as a founding member of the influential 1960s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary. Born in Manhattan to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, he studied psychology at Cornell University before joining the Greenwich Village folk scene. Alongside Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers, Yarrow helped popularize Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” and co‑wrote the beloved “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” The group became a musical voice of the civil rights and anti‑Vietnam War movements. In 1970, Yarrow was convicted of taking improper liberties with a minor, serving three months in prison and later receiving a presidential pardon in 1981. He continued performing, often with his daughter, until his death of bladder cancer in New York at age 86.
Peter Yarrow was born in Manhattan on May 31, 1938, the son of Vera Wisebrode (née Vira Burtakoff) and Bernard Yarrow. His parents were educated Ukrainian Jewish immigrants whose families had settled in Providence, Rhode Island.
Bernard Yarrow (1899–1973) attended the Jagiellonian University (Kraków) and the Odesa University (Odesa) before emigrating to the United States in 1922 at age 23. He anglicized his surname from Yaroshevitz to Yarrow, obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1925 from Columbia University, where he joined Phi Sigma Delta fraternity, and graduated from Columbia Law School in 1928. He then maintained a private law practice in New York City until 1938, when he was appointed an assistant district attorney under Thomas E. Dewey. He was recruited into the Office of Strategic Services, where he served with distinction, in 1944.
