Query: Beautiful writing in a classic about growing up a man

This is a beautifully-written memoir about growing up in on the North Carolina coast in the 1920s. The Old Man was Ruark's grandfather, who taught him how to hunt and fish. Along the way, the Old Man imparted philosophy, life lessons, and ultimately, how to be a man.That concept of masculinity is decidedly old school. It also entails killing a lot of wild game. Both were part of the times, but if they annoy you then this book is not for you.Hidden in here are some sociological observations about interracial relations in the Jim Crow South, about prohibition in the backwoods and in the big city of Baltimore, and about the early days of the tourism sector as Yankees discovered the North Carolina beach as a vacation destination. But it's really about growing up in the great outdoors, and the love between a boy and his grandfather.
