Description

Moonshiners Bootleggers & Rumrunners by Derek Nelson.

This book charts the history of making moonshine, how it grew over the years, why it was distilled and how it survived.

It discusses the shouting match between teetotalers and tax agents on one side and drinkers/distilleries on the other. Following a cask of characters that includes Scotch-Irish immigrants, Revolutionary War Heros, blockade-runners, pirates, hard-drinking pioneers, wealthy and vicious gangsters, devil-may-care adventures, and ludicrously incompetent amateurs." From famous cities, Appalachian, Carolina to speakeasies in New York.
