These are the magazine stories that Ruark wrote in the 1950s and 1960s, but were never published in book form. Some of these stories will make you laugh out loud while others will bring a tear to the eye of even the toughest disposition. Ruark was one of America's most enduring writers whose hunting and outdoor stories are timeless. His work transcends generations, and his words delight readers regardless of age. The Lost Classics will have you reminiscing of bygone days while you read about "The Old Man and the Boy," "Stories from Down Home," "The Boy Expands His Horizons," and "Papa Hemingway." The final section includes stories that Ruark wrote about himself and is entitled "Ruark on Ruark." Includes a lengthy biographical sketch by Dr. Jim Casada as well as a detailed bibliographical appendix on all of Ruark's books and papers.
