A native son of Barnegat Bay shares an insider's chronicle of a culture that has all but disappeared. Merce Ridgway, bayman, musician, and storehouse of folklore and philosophy, opens our eyes to a beautiful, simple way of life barely imaginable to most Americans today. It is a story that celebrates the bay, the Jersey Shore, and the Pine Barrens from a man who traces his family's roots in New Jersey to the 17th century, and whose great-grandfather was first keeper of records of the Barnegat Life Saving Station. The Bayman shares, with all who will listen, a lifetime of wisdom, values, generosity, and truth -- all of it bounty from the bay.
