Tales From The Moonshine Trade by Kathy Shearer Your Price:  $15.00 More Sharing ServicesShare | Share on linkedin Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Find us on Facebook    Tell A Friend  Add to Favorites Item #: 13396 Browse all items from CLINCH MOUNTAIN PRESS "A farm don't make no money. Grow corn and get money in a jar." --Margie Hays Lawson, Brushy Ridge, Dickenson County, Virginia MOONSHINE! Oral historian Kathy Shearer has gathered dozens of stories and pictures to shine a light on the secret activities of the men and women who ran wiskey in the secluded hollows of far Southwest Virginia. These tales paint a colorful picture of life in the mountain counties during the early and mid-20th century. Their voices tell of hard work but also reveal family pride, ingenuity, humor, and sometimes, tragedy. Follow us into the rhododendron thicket to see what's stirring, but be careful. You just might meet Washington County Deputy Sheriff James M. Stanfield standing watch over a copper stillpot and worm with his double-barrelled shotgun!
