The market gunning paraphernalia looks strange and fearful—and well it might, for it was devastatingly efficient and deadly.  He describes baiting practices, gunning with tollers, trapping, gunning lights, punt guns, pipe guns, the sinkbox—the whole bag of tricks the outlaws used.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is a fascinating account of a period and of practices long gone.  Throughout the unspoken \"good ole days\" feeling, and the nostalgia, runs a strong between-the-lines plea for conversation in our time.  The appeal, placed in this setting, is hard to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Cornell Maritime Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032071258352,"sku":"9780870336096","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780870336096_p0.jpg?v=1763837141","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780870336096","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
