The Gulf, The Making of an American Sea (2018 Pulitzer Prize winner in history)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30231749-the-gulf
Native history to the Spanish, French, English, and early settlers, fisheries, agriculture and oil, sport fishing, bird slaughter for meat and feathers (I knew that last bit, but had forgotten the scale of the Egret wipeout for ladies hat decorations), developers and conservationists. I didn’t know that McIlhenny of Tabasco Sauce/Avery Island fame was also an ardent if at times misguided conservationist.
A worthy read, not just for those who paddle on or near the Gulf coast.
