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. This new edition is illustrated in handsome charcoal etchings by southern artist Stephen Chesley.
