Synopsis: Season one of SWAMP PEOPLE takes you on a journey to the bayous and swamplands of America's southern heartland to witness a group of people that live on the fringes of society. They are the swamp people, and their distinct culture has its roots in the early days of America's expansion westward. The descendants of moonshiners, immigrant railroad workers and early settlers, the swamp people have inherited a legacy of self-reliance and anti-establishment values that make them true American originals, hidden from the view of the mainstream. HISTORY follows these swampers through a time of year that is crucial to their survival: alligator hunting season. At its core, this is a uniquely American story of a proud and skillful people fighting to maintain an ancient way of life in a rapidly modernizing world, despite the many perils and trials that stand in their way.

Review: We love the History Channel..you know that we do here at the Legion, but this show scares me.  Nay, these people scare me, lol.  This show literally focuses on the backwater folk.  The people of the swamps.  The things they do for food, for a living and for fun.  To say they're bizarre is an understatement.  Prepare to be .....disturbed!
