"For centuries, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, as well as the tidal areas from Delaware to the Carolinas, have been the stage for a continuing dramatic phase of American history. It is the purpose of this book to tell the story of market gunning as a legal-and illegal-activity. Through this book, the reader enters the world of the outlaw gunner, shedding light, respect and understanding unto their way of life. Lack of economic alternatives drove most of these men to market gunning. In the same situation, many an upstanding gentleman could find himself casting an outlaw's shadow."
