Didn’t know Ruark hung out here in Southport at his Grandpas.
It’s a bed and breakfast nowadays.

He didn't have a house there. His maternal grandfather (Capt Hawley Adkins) lived there. That grandfather was "The Old Man" in the "The Old Man and The Boy" series that Ruark wrote. It was nice to stay in the home that spawned some of the best sporting writers to ever ply the trade.

Good Robert Ruark story that I believe @FishHunt originally posted on here: https://kalaharireview.com/the-first-time-i-saw-god-ada6f1b1dc4c
I thoroughly enjoy his writing. What a great place that area of North Carolina must've been when he was growing up.

There is a second Ruark house around the corner and towards the south too, but not sure which Ruark had it.

Did he write "Old Man and the Boy"? I've never read it or heard of him until this past week where I saw a quote from that book. Then, bam, I see your post the next day.

yes and the old man's boy grows older and some fiction and non fiction. safari tales and "racy" novels.
I suggest you sample his stuff. I think i have read all his books except for some lost classic collections assembled by Jim Casada.

That’s child abuse. My daddy had me read most his books by 10th grade! Same with Peter Capstick and Elmer Keith and John Wooters and Warren Page and Jack O’Connor and Charles Askins and Skeeter Skelton.
