Mr. Murphy i believe his columns are kept at the university of North Carolina. I did a search a few years ago but did not find out if they are available online. If online you may be able to print them.

If they are at UNC, UNC is putting more and more stuff online all the time.
Ruark is one of my favorites even though I am a recent convert

I have the combination book, and have enjoyed it for over 20 years. A favorite.

I have read both books many times. By far the best reading on the subject I have done. I am a bit partial, was raised in the late 40s and 50s in the country. Except for the salt water stuff, I lived a lot of what Ruark wrote about in the first book. The picture is my paternal grandfather with Jake and Queenie (my Frank and Sandy). I still have the hat.
