Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 2011 | 9
Angler, S Hunter, Bibliophile Dr. Greville Haslam and his rare book collection are sure to intrigue
10 | Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 2011
By Kim Catanzarite
ometimes the collector is as interesting as his collection. This is certainly true in the case of Dr. Greville Haslam and his collection of 2,250 angling and sporting books published in Great Britain and the United States over three centuries, starting with the 17th. Haslam, who was born in Nova Scotia, educated at MIT and the headmaster of Episcopal Academy in Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years, not only collected books but spent his free time in the early 20th century traveling the world, hunting and fishing – and keeping detailed notes. “The man himself was meticulous,” says Jenny Fowler, development officer at the College of Charleston. “In his travel journal, he noted what the weather was like; he had the coordinates of where he was; he mentions the clothing he packed, things like that. You learn so much about him from the collection, too. It would be a shame for the books and the journals to ever be separated.”
A special exhibit of Haslam’s angling and sporting books, as well as his travel journals, photos, and other memorabilia will debut at the College of Charleston’s Marlene and Nathan Addlestone Library during the Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition. “This is a remarkable collection that reflects not just the joys of fishing across three centuries but offers insight into the environmental issues that challenge us today,” says Dr. David Cohen, dean of libraries at the college. “This is by far the finest collection in the southeast.” Mary and Howard Phipps donated the books to the Addlestone Library in September of 2010. “Anglers and hunters will find it a wonderful early history of the sport to enjoy,” says project archivist Sharon Bennett. The assemblage boasts many rare book gems. One titled “Ladies’ Delight,” published around 1840, suggests that women of the time enjoyed fishing as much as men did. “In it, there’s angling information, along with makeup tips and what to take if you have a stomachache,” Bennett says. Another, “Hunger’s Prevention: The Art of Fowling,” details all one needs to know on the subject, including how to train your dog and when to give it a haircut. “In addition to being great sources of research, these books are just fun to read,” she says. Over the course of his life, Haslam gathered more than 400 editions of Izaak Walton’s “The Compleat Angler,” one of the earliest books written on angling (of special note are a second edition published in 1655 and an 1808 edition that features seven original watercolors). The book is a contemplative text studied in many university philosophy departments today, and it’s the third most reprinted book in publishing history just after “Paradise Lost” and the Bible. “Dr. Haslam was fascinated with the different editions of Walton,” Bennett says. “Each edition underwent some change. The first few were pocketsize so that you could take the book in your fishing jacket. The fifth edition included information from Charles Cotton, much more of an angler than Walton, who included information on rods and flies.” From a publishing standpoint, the Waltons are a phenomenal printing and book publications history. “You can see how the volume progressed through 300 years,” Bennett says. As an avid bibliophile, Haslam created his own card catalog to keep track of each book in his collection, notating everything from how much he paid for

Focus on Films Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators Friday, Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. Lords of Nature tells the story of a science now discovering top carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature and of a society now learning tolerance for beasts they once banished. It traces the path of legendary naturalist and writer Aldo Leopold, who warned 70 years ago that a land lacking its top predators is subject to decay, and vice versa, as a land with great beasts in sufficient numbers is far more diverse and resilient.
New this year, SEWE will present film screenings of two nature films at the Charleston Music Hall each day of the expo.
Common Ground: The Story of the ACE Basin Saturday, Feb. 19 at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20 at 1 p.m. This film documents the preservation of the ACE Basin, an extraordinary ecosystem between Charleston and Savannah which takes its name from the three rivers – the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto – that run through the region, nourishing life and shaping the landscape.

the book to which pages contained the most helpful information. “He made detailed notes so that he would remember why he collected each book, where he got it from, if it was owned by someone in the angling field, if it was owned by a famous poet or a famous angler,” Bennett says. “Dr. Haslam used the books as a fisherman and a hunter; he was not just a book collector. He had a lifetime of learning the craft.” The books are part of the library’s natural history collection and will be available for research after the exhibit opens. The College of Charleston Addlestone Library is located at 205 Calhoun St.

Cueing Up Local pit master Jimmy Hagood to introduce the art of Southern barbecue By Stephanie Burt
W
hether it’s lip-licking ribs, slathered in deep, smoky sauce, pulled pork punched up with a spicy vinegar mop, or a dry rub massaged into a beef brisket, for many eaters, barbecue is all good. Pork, beef, and even chicken – the meat doesn’t matter as much as the melding of smoke and spice. And for Jimmy Hagood, it feeds the fire of creativity. With his businesses, BlackJack Barbecue, Tidewater Catering and Food for the Southern Soul, Hagood has transformed his life from that of an insurance adviser to pit master and beyond. Winner of more than 18 competitive barbecue awards, Hagood is now bringing his Big Red Rig back to Marion Square to serve another delicious meal – and teach some of the tasty techniques behind his success. The “Big Red Rig” is BlackJack Barbecue’s “ultimate cooking experience.” Making appearances at national competitions and large catered events, the two-story, 30foot long rig has enough cooking space for 50 Boston Butts, 40 racks of ribs and much more. But before the rig, Hagood started as a weekend warrior, testing out recipes on friends and family – and eventually in competitions. “I got my start at SEWE in 1992,” he says. “I cooked my first competitive barbecue there and won second place in the amateur position. It’s great to come back 20 years later to be in a position to help other people.” ‘Cue Camp, a special Southeastern Wildlife Exposition Saturday event, is an introduction to the art of cooking traditional Southern barbecue. Hagood will guide attendees through the application of rubs, injections, sauces, fire and smoke that layer the flavors for backyard cooking adventures. Hagood has taught classes previously, including locally at Charleston Cooks! and Williams-Sonoma, and he asserts that prior grilling experience is not necessary to benefit from ‘Cue Camp. The event will cover the basics, but also touch on heritage breed products and how to source them, the types of sauces represented in South Carolina and the “heated” gas vs. charcoal debate. “The class brings the experience to all the five senses. It’s interactive,” he explains. In addition to ways to improve grilling techniques, the special event ticket includes a BlackJack Barbecue dinner: pulled pork shoulder with BlackJack Barbecue sauces, sliced beef brisket, pork ribs, cole slaw and dinner rolls, with plenty of iced tea and cold beer to wash it all down. “BlackJack Barbecue has been serving up great food

Continued from page 12 at the Southeastern Wildlife Expo for years, and it just seemed natural to grow our relationship with Jimmy Hagood into something more hands-on for our attendees,” says SEWE Art Coordinator Lindy Shealy. “With an appearance on ‘The Today Show’ and being included in numerous magazine and news features, his barbecue expertise is widely known. We thought some of our guests would appreciate having the opportunity to learn from a real pit master while having a good time and enjoying some delicious barbecue and cold beer.” With a wide variety of cooking shows on cable networks, many cooks know the general terminology for grilling but balk when they realize that the world of barbecue competition includes highly guarded recipes, huge cuts of meat and often all-night tending. Hagood wants to help the weekend cook go beyond backyard burgers without being intimidated by all the choices. He wants the choices to be fun. “You will learn a few short cuts, too, to speed the process and make it easier,” Hagood says. “You don’t have to stay up all night long (like we do) to make good barbecue.” Stephanie Burt grew up in the Carolina piedmont at a Southern table where the only spices were salt and pepper, but it’s also where she quickly learned to love barbecue (pulled pork, Western North Carolina style, of course). She covers art, food and travel for various publications.

Sport,
for Art’s Sake T
Featured Artist Eldridge Hardie brings his talent to SEWE
By Mary Coy
he Southeastern Wildlife Exposition’s 2011 Featured Artist Eldridge Hardie has been a sportsman his entire life. And he’s been a sporting artist nearly as long. “I started painting professionally in 1966,” he muses. “I figured I ought to paint what I know.” With more than 800 paintings executed in his professional career, Hardie continues to find new stories to tell through his work. He has traveled across the United States and Canada as well as to Scotland, Belize, the Caribbean and South America. He was in Charleston years ago with his friend, Charleston native Robert Small, who took him to the S.C. Historical Society to research photographs of the old Santee Gun Club (a private 20,000-acre preserve that comprises 12 former rice plantations along the south Santee River). Painting a variety of themes or landscapes keeps Hardie excited about his work. “There is so much interesting subject matter.” But the multiplicity of potential topics also presents challenges. “Getting the idea and getting focused is the most difficult aspect of painting. Once I’m going, it gets easier.” Since he is adept at using both oil and watercolor, Hardie’s versatility in his choice of medium also keeps things interesting for the artist. “I like going back and forth. It’s refreshing to switch off.” But that’s not to say all aspects of his work come easy. Hardie candidly admits he envies artists who have an innate ability with color subtleties and temperatures. “What I’m best at is drawing and getting the lights and darks.” He references prominent landscape artists Winslow Homer, Frank Benson and Ogden Pleissner as influences. Hardie generally produces 20 paintings a year, working eight hours a day, five days a week. However, not all of that time is spent in front of an easel; research, sketches, and field studies are also required. “I work from visual reference – not so much from my memory – because I need accuracy.” For this year’s expo, Hardie plans to bring 10 new works that represent the diversity of his subjects. He’ll have a few small vignettes of animals as well as full landscapes. Among them will be a western scene, an Oklahoma landscape and, of course, “Southern Covey,” the piece that spawned this year’s SEWE poster. “It’s the most representative piece of my work depicting this part of the country.” Although Hardie’s career is extensive and his professional accomplishments are many, this will be his first time to exhibit at SEWE. “Just being invited is in itself an honor,” the artist acknowledges. Lindy Shealy, SEWE’s art coordinator, says, “El is a renowned wildlife and sporting artist, and we’ve wanted to have him come to SEWE for years.”
1 | |Southeastern 16 SoutheasternWildlife WildlifeExposition Exposition2011 2011
It was the selection of his friend, Luke Frazier, as last year’s featured artist that clinched Hardie’s interest in SEWE. Hardie can also take pride in the Award of Excellence for Sporting Art given to him in 2008 by Sporting Classics magazine. “That put me in the class with previous winners Bob Kuhn and Bob Abbett, so it was great to be with the likes of them. And the one-man retrospective show I did at the National Bird Dog Museum (in Grand Junction, Tenn.) was another wonderful honor, especially since it was the museum’s first ever.” Besides earning dozens of prestigious awards, Hardie has illustrated more than 15 books and painted the covers for two. His own book, “The Paintings of Eldridge Hardie – Art of a Life in Sport,” spans nearly four decades of the artist’s career. It was published in 2002, but Hardie laments that “there are more recent pieces that now I wish I could include.” He finds himself adding sensory memories to the visual images in the book. Indeed, that is what the intent of his work is for others as well – to give the viewers “something that heightens their awareness when they are there or reminds them of when they were.” Even with all his accomplishments, there are still a few things Hardie would like to tackle, both professionally and personally. For instance, he’d like to paint “the quality of light at the start or end of the day. It’s magical.” He adds, “And perhaps I’ll do another retro exhibit.”

Another goal is to start cutting back gradually on his work. “I want to hunt and fish and do some travel and volunteer work. I have friends who are retired, and they have time for those things. And someday I’ll do some portraiture. I like painting human figures and occasionally go to art classes just to draw a model.” But whatever pursuits Eldridge Hardie embraces in the future, his devotion to the outdoors will serve as his guide, just as it always has. “I was born to hunt, fish and make art about these passions.” Mary Clark Coy is a freelance writer and author of several books of local interest.

“Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators” tells the story of a science now discovering top carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature and of a society now learning tolerance for beasts they once banished. It traces the path of legendary naturalist and writer Aldo Leopold who warned 70 years ago that a land lacking its top predators is subject to decay, and vice versa, as a land with great beasts in sufficient numbers is far more diverse and resilient. Friday at 1 p.m.; Sunday at 3 p.m. “Common Ground: The Story of the ACE Basin” documents the preservation of the ACE Basin, an extraordinary ecosystem between Charleston and Savannah which takes its name from the three rivers – the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto – that run through the region, nourishing life and shaping the landscape. Saturday at 5 p.m.; Sunday at 1 p.m.
Francis Marion Hotel “Landscapes and Locals” Exhibit This exhibit in the Carolina Ballroom will showcase scenic landscapes by select SEWE artists and a myriad of works by more than a dozen talented Lowcountry artists.
ACE Basin sunset
Brunch with Birds of Prey The delicious, buffet-style brunch in the Colonial Ballroom will include shrimp and grits with lobster gravy, eggs frittata, a wide selection of fresh fruit and pastries, grilled chicken with pesto sauce, coffee, tea, juice, bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys. Jim Elliott, executive director of the Center for Birds of Prey, will speak at 10 a.m., accompanied by some of his feathered friends. This event is Saturday, 9 a.m.–noon. Tickets are $45 per person and may be purchased in advance by calling 723-1748; if still available, tickets will be sold at the door.

Living with Wolves T
he Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is pleased to have Jim and Jamie Dutcher back for an encore presentation at the Gaillard Auditorium after an overwhelming response to their performance in 2009. As the founders of the not-for-profit organization Living with Wolves Ltd., the Dutchers are dedicated to educational outreach and travel the country to bring about a better understanding of the true nature of wolves and their importance to a healthy eco-system. The Dutchers spent six years in a tented camp at the edge of Idaho’s Sawtooth Wilderness, living with a pack of wolves, listening to them and earning their trust. They created a 25-acre enclosure (with their camp in the middle) and introduced a litter of wolf pups to the environment. The couple found that wolves have a similar social structure to that of elephants that involves complicated relationships with the group, a system of greeting and a period of mourning when a pack member dies. Although the reputation of wolves might scare many people, the Dutchers were never afraid for their safety, just for the securing of their supplies. “Wolves are very curious and would get into anything,” Jim says, so the couple had to erect a fence around the tent to protect their belongings. And since the wolves only hunted small wild game in the 25-acre enclosure, the couple became the “people to call” when road kill was spotted in the surrounding area. “Unfortunately, there is a lot of road kill in the mountains, and we collected deer, elk, antelope ... People came to recognize our van,” Jamie says with a laugh. Although the Sawtooth pack exists mainly in memory now, the Dutchers have been profoundly touched by their interaction with the animals. Combining projected images and film, they share their intimate story of life with the pack, at a time when wolves are once again being trapped and shot. “Wolves are where our hearts are,” Jamie says. “They need us now, especially when so many people don’t understand why the world needs wolves. If Americans can give their hearts to elephants and whales, they need to hear the story of wolves, our nation’s own incorrectly demonized animal, wrongly being killed and mismanaged in our own country, before we can truly understand the depth of their caring and their intelligence.”

Calling for the preservation of wild places with contiguous wildlife corridors that allow for a sustainable ecosystem for wolves, and one that would preclude the clashes with ranchers and encroaching civilization that are threatening the wolf with rapid extinction, the Dutchers’ programs are sure to be of interest to many SEWE attendees. Editor’s note: Quotes and information from an article by Stephanie Burt, which appeared in the 2009 SEWE publication, were used in this article.
