Archibald Rutledge's story The Doom of Ravenswood is a harrowing
account of the power of the natural world and of the dangers for
humans and animals alike to be found in the ominous swamps of the
South Carolina lowcountry. As the narrator of this cautionary tale
is riding home astride his faithful horse, Redbird, to Ravenswood
Plantation, he is compelled to stop along the isolated road to pick
wildflowers. But the untamed wilderness has laid a trap for the
traveler, and he quickly finds himself sinking helplessly into the
inescapable pull of the morass. With Redbird his only ally in this
deadly predicament and with fate and nature set squarely against
him, the narrator must use his wits if he is to survive. The short
story The Doom of Ravenswood was written for publication in an
early twentieth-century boy's magazine and was first collected in
the privately printed Eddy Press edition of Old Plantation Days (c.
1913). Limited to just a few hundred copies, the Eddy Press edition
is highly prized by Rutledge collectors and includes five stories -
"Claws," "The Doom of Ravenswood," "The Egret's Plumes," "The Heart
of Regal," and "The Ocean's Menace" - not found in the more widely
available 1921 Stokes edition of Old Plantation Days. A project of
the Humanities Council SC benefiting the South Carolina Book
Festival, this new edition of The Doom of Ravenswood is illustrated
in handsome charcoal etchings by southern artist Stephen Chesley.
Award-winning outdoors writer and noted Rutledge scholar Jim Casada
provides the volume's introduction and Lillian Smith Award-winning
writer William Baldwin offers an afterword.

Unseen by readers for a century, Archibald Rutledge's story "Claws"
is a fast-paced adventure tale of a young boy, Paul, lost in the
foreboding terrain of Spencer's Swamp, the domain of the mighty
bobcat Claws, which is deftly evading hounds and hunters alike.
When Paul and Claws encounter one another at a perilous creek
crossing, Rutledge's mastery of outdoors storytelling shines
through in every evocative word.
The short story "Claws" was written for publication in an early
twentieth-century boy's magazine and was first collected in the
privately printed Eddy Press edition of Old Plantation Days (c.
1913). Limited to just a few hundred copies, the Eddy Press edition
is highly prized by Rutledge collectors and includes five
stories--"Claws," "The Doom of Ravenswood," "The Egret's Plumes,"
"The Heart of Regal," and "The Ocean's Menace"--not found in the
more widely available 1921 Stokes edition of Old Plantation
Days.
A project of the Humanities Council SC benefiting the South
Carolina Book Festival, this new edition of Claws is illustrated in
handsome charcoal etchings by Southern artist Stephen Chesley.
Award-winning outdoors writer and noted Rutledge scholar Jim Casada
provides the volume's introduction and retired South Carolina
conservation officer Ben McC. Moise offers an afterword."
