Every teenage boy and father of teenage boys, or girls, that matter, should read about what truly made this country great at one time! A time when grandparents were revered for their respect for nature and the real world. We have several generations of indoctrinated individuals who have no time to research the truth of anything, being led around by mind control devices that shortchange them on facts, and introduce energy fields that are not healthy for them. Unhook and enjoy this author who has a number of books well worth reading.

The Old Man and the Boy by Robert Ruark is perhaps the quintessiantial tale of growing up and having the best mentor a boy could have to teach the fundamentals of being an outdoorman, conservationist and gentlemen in the old south. Classic, timeless and a flowing tale of the progression of a young man into adulthood while experiencing the best possible education. Short chapters have a nice beginning and end while with rich details captivating our imagination as the boy learns how to make a boat, camp out under the stars,throw a cast net or to limit out on squirrels and quail. Very inspirational regarding foods as well, the description of the foods being prepared for the holidays makes your mouth water. Truly outstanding for anyone who wishes they were more connected to the outdoors and likes to imagine how it should/could have been with the right teacher to learn the ropes of the outdoors.Read full review
Love, love, love this book!!!! Want to know the deep reason guys hunt? Or do you just love reading about the relationships between guys and their dogs? This book is for you! Helped me understand why my husband loves to hunt!! Has some cuss words, but it’s true to how guys talk in the field. Book would help encourage a boy to read.

Wonderfully written and strikes at a chord with anyone familiar, or even vaguely interested, in the outdoors. It takes me back to when I was a boy growing up in rural Missouri. I've experienced many similar adventures.
