The first one is a great read. Haven’t read the second but was told it isn’t as good. Of course that is singular heresay.

I have the same for many years and it is just as good the 4 th or 5 th time as the first. Went to see my Granddaughter in Myrtel beach and The Old Mans house is an hour north so went and poked around the places mentioned in the book. His house is a bed and breakfast now.

Ruark’s obit. Hemingway was his idol and they were soulmates for sure.

Garth, it wanted me to have a subscription to view. This appeared in a recent Sporting Classics Daily and prompted me to seek out the Ruark book...

I love them both. I’ve reread them many times.

I recently read the first one. My son read it and did a book report on it. Everyone who is interested in outdoor sports should read it.
