Phil,
My favorite Rutledge selections are "Home by the River" and " Hunting and Home in the Southern Heartland", edited by Jim Casada. Most of his hunting stories are centered around his family home, Hampton Plantation, located on the South Santee river in coastal South Carolina. More than just a collection of hunting exploits, these books chronicle his life from the time of childhood, to his "exile" in Pennsylvania, to his return and restoration of his home place later in life. If anyone cherishes "family hunts", Rutledge will warm your heart with the tales of hunts with his sons.
I am fortunate to live 40 miles from Hampton Plantation and have visited the site dozens of times. I am a big fan of Rutledge and his works make up a large part of my library.
Regards,
Charles
