Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Paperback. Everglades Outlaws - The Complete History of Moonshining, Alligator Poaching & Marijuana Smuggling in Florida pulls you into the backcountry at dawn and doesn't let go. From plume hunters and hidden stills to square grouper drops, cocaine spillover, and today's eco-crimes, B.j Dellinger tells the full, unvarnished story of how the Glades became a proving ground-for outlaws, for wardens, and for a community learning, sometimes the hard way, to keep a wild place alive.Written like a guide's best day on the water-fast, vivid, and packed with hard-won know-how-this is narrative nonfiction with receipts. Dellinger blends fieldwork, oral histories from Seminole and Miccosukee elders, case files, and on-the-ground science to show how law, livelihood, and landscape collided-and how patience, paperwork, and pride ultimately beat swagger.Inside you'll discover: The people of the river and how a water world shaped culture, trade, and survivalPlumes, pelts, and the first conservation crackdowns that changed American wildlife lawThe drainage schemes that created roads-and opportunities-for contrabandProhibition's "sugar-shine" stills, swamp runners, and backcountry justiceGator men and the economics of extinction-and recoveryWardens at war: tools, raids, informants, and the true cost of enforcementSquare grouper and cocaine spillover: mother ships, drop zones, and accountant-level cash flowsThe smuggler's playbook: signals, decoys, radio codes, and why patience beat cleverTrials, turncoats, and task forces that rewrote strategy with RICO and forfeitureFrom poacher to protector: redemption arcs that now safeguard the marshComeback creatures and the tug-of-war between science and traditionWater wars and restoration: sugar, sea rise, and the multi-billion-dollar fixToday's black market: pythons, turtles, orchids, and the age of DM-to-doorstep eco-crimeWhat you'll get: a propulsive history, field-sharp storytelling, and practical insight into how wild places are lost-and saved. Rich appendices include a timeline of outlaw eras, a glossary of Glades gear and slang, schematic route maps (ethically generalized), and a research guide to primary sources.For readers of: true crime with brains, environmental history with bite, maritime and backcountry lore, and anyone who likes their nonfiction immersive, humane, and useful.About the author: B.j Dellinger writes at the confluence of law, livelihood, and wild water, pairing narrative drive with shoe-leather research to map how the Glades turned shortcuts into cautionary tales-and how communities learned to let the marsh breathe.Open the cooler, check the tide, and step aboard. The Everglades is talking. This book teaches you how to listen. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
