Marco Island projects prominently from Florida's mainland at the peninsula's southwestern fringe, where the waters of the Everglades and the Gulf of Mexico commingle. Its tropical climate, verdant landscape, unique topography, and abundant wildlife sustained prehistoric Native American cultures for centuries. The first pioneer settlers arrived in 1870, carving out a niche on the harsh Florida frontier. Bustling villages soon sprang up on the island, bolstered by strong leaders and economies centered around farming and fishing. The crash of Florida's land boom, along with the Great Depression, devastating hurricanes, and a series of failed developments, ultimately stunted the island's growth. Most of Marco Island was sold to the Deltona Corporation in 1964, which transformed the island into a place its early residents might find unrecognizable.

For the first time ever, the true story of Kinnie Wagner is being told, from his birth in Virginia to his death in a Mississippi prison. Wagner began his career as a circus star and sharpshooter, a skill that would serve him well in his later career as an outlaw. He descended into a life of crime that included bootlegging, thieving, and murdering. This misconduct gained him recognition as the South's most notorious gunman. In his long career, Wagner had more than a few run-ins with law enforcement. Bars couldn't hold him, though, and he achieved infamy by repeatedly escaping, only to be recaptured. Multiple magazine articles, novelizations, and even folk songs have popularized his story.
