| Summary |
Among the Swamp People is Watt Key?s story of discovering the delta, leasing a habitable outcropping of land deep inside, and constructing from driftwood a primitive cabin to serve as a private getaway. His story is one that chronicles the beauties of the delta?s unparalleled natural wonders, the difficulties of survival within it, and an extraordinary community of characters?by turns generous and violent, gracious and paranoid, endearing and reckless?who live, thrive, and perish there |
