Theodore G. Manno traces the history of nutria from their natural range in South America to their status as an invasive species known for destroying the environmentally and economically important wetlands along the Gulf Coast. In this definitive book on “swamp rats,” Manno vividly recounts western expansion and the explosion of the American fur industry. Then he details an apocalyptic turn—to replace an overhunted beaver population in North America, humans introduced nutria. With an eclectic repertoire of true stories that read like fiction and are played out by larger-than-life characters, Manno conveys the legend of empire-seeking fur trappers, the bizarre miscommunications that led to nutria releases, and the sadness that comes with killing millions of nutria whose ancestors were never meant to leave their South American habitat. He tells of disastrous interactions among hungry nutria, storm surges from Hurricane Katrina, and major oil spills. His extensively researched and epic narrative, accompanied by more than thirty photographs and entertaining interviews with biologists, historians, fashion designers, and chefs, weaves a poignant tale of empire, conquest, fortune, and even Tabasco Sauce. Manno provides a full overview of what is currently known about nutria—a species now aggressively hunted with a bounty program because of their reputation for wetland destruction.

About, Swamps are nature’s way to remove waste and clean our waterways. When swamps get bogged down with waste, they become stagnated and turn into bogs. Just like the House of Congress and Senate designed to protect Americans. They are Americas bog with greed, corruption, lies, and the most of all selfishness. Today’s Democratic leadership refuses to work with the President and the American people who elected him. The only reason for this insanity is just pure selfishness. Just like a two-year-old child, that cries and schemes to get their way.

When Princess is nine, her mother abandons her. She finds herself alone in the swamp waiting for her absentee father, who travels the river to make a living. That same day she finds Cree at her door, the boy who lives two houses down on her tiny patch of land. He’s twelve and strong, the first boy she’s ever seen, and he invites her to dinner with his baby brothers, because Cree, like Princess, is mostly alone in the world. That evening his eyes sparkle at Princess for the very first time, and Princess’ life truly begins. From that day forward Cree and Princess work together to survive and raise Cree’s brothers. Occasionally hindered by Cree’s abusive father, they learn about life and growing up through her dad’s extensive library as well as the lessons they figure out on their own. But life in the swamp isn’t easy for two kids. They endure flooding storms, illness, and alligators along the way. Cree longs to care for his brothers and the woman he’s falling in love with by traveling like his dad, but Princess is terrified he’ll never return, just like her mother never returned. And yet they have to agree and stay together, because neither can survive alone. In this coming of age romance, follow Cree and Princess as they grow up, fall in love, and avoid alligators. Come visit a quieter place and time and drift down the river in the sweet romance Trilogy on the River.
