A chronicle of corn whiskey from King James' Ulster Plantation to America's Appalachians and the Moonshine Life.  It's rich reading, wild chases through the Appalachian backcountry, anecdotes of the wild and wooly Prohibition days, and a pervading sense of nostalgia.

You will also want to look at the companion to this book: "More Mountain Spirits: The Continuing Chronicle of Moonshine Life and Corn Whiskey, Wines, Ciders, Beers in America's Appalachians".
