Moonshine

All about Moonshine- including history, tall tales, how to make it, recipes, and knee-slapping quotes.

What do you think of when you hear about "moonshiners"? Is it a floppy-hatted, jug-swillin', gun totin' mountaineer? Turns out this stereotype has been around for over 125 years! This book will give you the in-depth history of moonshine from about 1620, when a colonist began distilling the first corn whiskey in Virginia, to prohibition, to today.

The incredible black and white photographs of the olden days will be fun and interesting to discuss when you share them with your group.

What do your residents think of when they hear about the mountaineers? Southern cowboys and mule drivers? Have they seen Moonshine Mountain (1964), Moonshiner's Woman (1968), or any of the other hundreds of movies based on Moonshiners?

Moonshine! also comes with moonshine-based recipes. Make your own cough syrup or vanilla extract as a project.
