Among the Swamp People takes the form of one tall tale after another, made believable by the fact that you’d be hard-pressed to make them up. Key gives us a readable, engaging, slice-of-life insight into a world that most of us hardly know at all."" - Frye Gaillard, author of
Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement That Changed America and coauthor of
