Wander/Wandering

Hello, I read the following two sentences: 1. Wander the tables of a gun show and the combination of burnished walnut, tooled steel and exquisite balance might be fondly labeled artisanal by a city dweller. 2. Rural culture often evokes a defiant individualism that draws on the mythology of the American frontier, and a resistance to regulation as righteous and absolutist as anything free-speech advocates marshal in defense of their own favorite amendment. I think the first sentence should be replaced with Wandering... and the seconds would be ...marshals....Am I correct? Thanks for answering.
