Archibald Rutledge

[George Lander]

Archibald Rutledge in his book "Home By The River" writes of his boyhood home, Hampton Plantation, on the South Santee River at McClellanville between Charleston & Georgetown, South Carolina. He returned to his childhood home late in life after living most of his adult life in the North. Hampton Plantation is now owned by the South Carolina State Park Service & is open to the public including his home. I believe a Parker shotgun is mentioned in this work.

Best Regards, George

I seem to remember reading somewhere he shot one or two Parkers so much that they were unfixable . Now I realize "unfixable" is a relative term with most folks . I assume what was meant by that was he shot them loose and at the time no one was inclined to shall we say "tighten them back up" .
