He is as passionate about swamps, bogs, vernal ponds, and the creatures who live in them as most of us are about our families and closest friends. Naturalist David Carroll has dedicated his life to art and to wetlands. Winner of the John Burroughs Medal: An “admission ticket to a secret corner of the world” (Bill McKibben). A portion of the book examines the unsolved murder of Rosemary Moon McIntyre and the corruption and the abuses of a prosecutor who shielded the primary suspect from the police investigation into her murder in order to protect his own political future. It moves then to his years as a lawyer and a judge and the unusual and interesting incidents and cases he was involved in over the 34 year span of his time in the legal fields. The story moves from his boyhood years growing up, his black market years in North Africa, his time as a outlaw hunter and poacher and the time spent in the sport fishing industry on the Atlantic Coast. The author uses his life experiences from the bad person of his early years to his times as a judge to paint a picture of the evolution of our culture. Wading Through the Swamp chronicles the history of the era from the time of World War II to the present, highlighting the changes in our culture over that time.
