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.
