Sandlapper Publishing, 1980. Signed first edition hardcover with dust jacket protected in mylar covering of A Hunt for Life's Extras: The Story of Archibald Rutledge by Idella Bodie.

The author Idella Bodie has signed and dated the page opposite the frontispiece photo of Archibald.

"Among the most revered and honored South Carolinians of the twentieth century was the late Archibald Hamilton Rutledge. Poet, philosopher, educator, writer, outdoorsman and conservationist, Rutledge was highly respected for his accomplishments in diverse fields.

"Author Idella Bodie traces the life of this talented and spirited individual from his cradle, to which an inquisitive deer once wandered for a face-to-face meeting, to his position as a nationally acclaimed outdoors writer, inspirational writer and poet, and on to his retirement years at his low-country plantation."

Black and white photos throughout.

Very Good. Very slight lean to the binding. Nice copy with light shelf wear.
