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.

I read "The Old Man and the Boy" in Field and Stream all through the mid to late fifties and maybe into the sixties. My dad must have been renewing my subscriptions religiously because I still have a shelf full of F&S, never having discarded a single issue. Of course, all of them included Corey Ford's "The Lower Forty". Dad knew Ruark through cocktail parties in D.C. while Ruark was employed by the Washington Daily News. I would kill to add his News columns to my meager Ruark collection. I guess they are lost for eternity.

If the WDN is included on Newspapers.com, you may find them there. I let my subscription lapse or I would check.
