Moonshine nation : the art of creating cornbread in a bottle / by Spivak, Mark(Mark Allen),author.(CARDINAL)788447;
"Moonshine is corn whiskey, traditionally made in improvised stills throughout the Appalachian South. While quality varied from one producer to another, the whiskey had one thing in common: It was illegal because the distiller refused to pay taxes to the US government. Many moonshiners were descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants who had fought in the original Whiskey Rebellion in the early 1790s. They brought their knowledge of distilling with them to America along with a profound sense of independence and a refusal to submit to government authority. Today many Southern states have relaxed their laws and now allow the legal production of moonshine--provided that taxes are paid. Yet many modern moonshiners retain deep links to their bootlegging heritage. Moonshine Nation is the story of moonshine's history and origins alongside profiles of modern moonshiners--and a collection of drink recipes from each"--

Stiefel."The craft of making moonshine, an unaged white whiskey, often made and consumed outside legal parameters, nearly went extinct in the late twentieth century as law enforcement cracked down on illicit producers, and cheaper, lawful alcohol became readily available. Yet the twenty-first century has witnessed a resurgence of artisanal distilling, as both connoisseurs and those reconnecting with their heritage have created a vibrant new culture of moonshine. While not limited to Appalachia, moonshine is often entwined with the region in popular understandings."--Cover.

Corn from a Jar :Moonshining in the Great Smoky mountains / by Pierce, Daniel S.(CARDINAL)214052;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 102-104) and index.Turning corn into cash -- The tax man cometh -- Temperance and lack thereof -- Prohibition and other incentives -- Moonshiner vs. revenuer: high stakes cat-and-mouse -- Moonshine for the masses."In the Great Smoky Mountains, moonshine making was a world unto itself. On the one hand, moonshining was about dynamite-totting lookouts, fast cars, snitching, quick cash, hidden stills, "revenuers," and deadly gunplay. On the other, it was a story of earnest farm families living in remote mountain valleys and practicing their traditional craft of moonshining so they could buy shoes for their children. Yet perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this book is the sudden resurgence of making moonshine in the Southern mountains today. Join author and noted historian Dr. Daniel S. Pierce to learn about the traditions, foibles, and dangers of mountain "blockading" from the early 19th century to tomorrow"--Provided by publisher.

Moonshine : a life in pursuit of white liquor / by Wilkinson, Alec,1952-author.(CARDINAL)163174; Powell, Padgett,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)733705;
"A vivid portrait of legendary liquor agent Gar-land Bunting, an American original who pa-trolled rural North Carolina when moonshiners still patrolled the back-country. For thirty-five years, Gar-land Bunting slid his "sweet potato shape-small at both ends and big in the middle" onto the front seat of his beat-up pickup with the coon dogs in the back to ride around in pursuit of moonshine stills in Halifax County, North Carolina. Bunting was true a one-of-a-kind, a man who would do nearly anything to get his culprit. To best the bootleggers, Bunting passed himself off as an outrageous array of characters, including a door-to-door fish peddler, a preacher, a farmer, a fox hunter, a sawmill worker, and a woman. Articulate, canny, imaginative, and aware-aware even that he's an unusual character-Bunting fills the foreground of Alec Wilkinson's deeply report-ed and elegantly told story. Moonshine is a wonderfully alive portrait of both Bunting and rural North Carolina's costal plain, with its landscape of small farms, woods, and swamps. We meet the people Bunting grew up with, his fellow liquor agents, his cronies, and his shy wife, Colleen. Along the way, we learn the history of moon-shine and how it is made, and accompany Bunting on the stake-out of a small backwoods still. Full of humor, energy, and a deeply haunting quality, the flavors of the past and present are richly inter-mingled in Moonshine. This Nonpareil edition includes a new introduction by acclaimed author Padgett Powell"--
