Reseña del editor:

SUPERANNO Rise of the Cajun Mariners carries the reader into a unique, previously unexplored realm--the old wild and woolly oilfield boat business. This international industry was born in Louisiana's bayou country and pioneered by Cajuns. The book follows four of these French-speaking trailblazers as they scrape to buy and build their first boats and struggle toward success, but this is about more than an inspirational pursuit of the American dream. It's a candid account of a colorful time in a vital business. The story evolves from the awkward launch of the inland marine oilfield in the late 1930s and early 1940s, through the alternating boom and doom years of the 1950s and 1960s, up into the roaring 1970s, down into the 1980s bust, and back up toward a more realistic present.
