“Outlaw gunning, which developed once legislation was passed, was nothing new. The operations merely went underground. Few saw any need for a law that deprived them of food, fun, and a source of income.”
Crisp copy of Walsh’s colorful story of market gunning in both its legal and illegal phases. It embraces the great Chesapeake Bay, world-famous Outer Banks and tidewater Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina—a tale of the market gunners, guides and outlaws who were engaged in a unique occupation, providing, in turn, an authoritative and comprehensive study of the art of wildfowling.
