[Dean Romig]

Nash sure had the ability to put 'old-time Southern' dialect and colloquialism to the pen - he was a master of that style of story telling.

Yes he was but I was never able to master reading it

I too never really got into Nash. Then again, I'm not a waterfowl hunter, just dabble in it once in a while. I know I've told some guys in the past that Archibald Rutledge has a special place in our family. We have many of his books, original printing and dedicated to my Father-in-Law, who AR took under his wing at Mercersburg Academy. Same for a fine arrowhead and hand tool collection AR helped him find in the fields around the Academy back in the day. I read his stories and can envision those hunts just like I am in the midst of the action.

If you like fly fishing stories, you need to read Charlie Meck "Memory Rising". He's a Central PA guy and fished Spruce Creek in the day when it was open to the public.
