Autorenporträt
Archibald Rutledge was raised on Hampton Plantation near McClellanville, SC. Growing up in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, Rutledge was early on immersed in the wildlife and woods of the region. While attending Union College in New York, he was editor of the school newspaper and class poet. For the next 37 years, he was the head of the English Department at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania. Living in Pennsylvania, Rutledge was widely published; in 1934 this prompted the Governor of SC to appoint him Poet Laureate. Upon retiring, he returned to Hampton Plantation to restore the buildings and reclaim the grounds from the wilderness that had largely claimed them. He spent the remainder of his life on Hampton Plantation, the denizens of which are the focus of God's Children. Rutledge died in 1973.
