His writing and his story are amazing, tragic and sad. I consider him a MUST read for any outdoors person.

No pictures and not an unusual number of pages... Just some wonderful writing by a guy who died too early.

ABEBooks.com has five or six for sale right now. The most expensive is $1500 and the least expensive is like $850.

I have paid over $1000 for Archibald Rutledge’s first two books. No pictures, not very many pages, but worth every penny for the writing.

Mills, we have many of ARs books. He was a mentor and teacher of Susan's father at Mercersburg Academy. Took him bird watching and arrowhead hunting. Her father passed the books on to her. At least one has a sentiment written in it. We also have a sketch done by AR somewhere. It hasn't been unpacked for almost 16 years, but it's here somewhere!

I'd sure like to see that sketch...

It’s called “Poling to the blind”. When we find it I’ll post a photo. Or maybe it’ll be on a cover of The Parker Pages?

Such a sketch by a noteworthy Parker owner from the past would be a great cover. Too bad we don't have a really good photo of his Parker. I've seen at least one photo that includes the gun, but not with much detail as I recall.

But one must begin at the beginning with his first “The Earth Is Enough” and the four following it, culminating with “Starlight...” which pulls it all together. It almost seems in “Starlight...” that he knew his end was near...

His books don’t follow any particular theme or narrative, but are snapshots or where his head is and his love of life and fishing at the particular time that he wrote each book.

I've always thought there were far too few Harry Middleton fans, glad to find another one Dean.

Some books take you back in time, some to places that dreams are made of, books open doors! I am just starting Atlas Shrugged, should have read it years ago but better late than never, Gary
