This review is from: Hunting and Home in the Southern Heartland: The Best of Archibald Rutledge (Hardcover)

An excellent insight into the heart of the sportsman and the South's transition to the 20th century. If you are a hunter, you will appreciate how Mr. Ruthledge brings the excitement of the hunt to the reader. If you are a Southerner, you will better understand the critical time when the South shook off the long-standing burdens of the Reconstruction and joined America's march into the 20th century. Today's reader may be shocked by the way that Mr. Ruthledge describes the interactions between whites and blacks during the early part of the 20th century. It is certainly politically incorrect by today's standards. But it does reveal a much deeper and respectful interaction between the races, despite the caste system of the day. All in all an excellent book about hunting in the South.
