From the monicker, I’m gathering you’re a Tar Heel and just maybe spent some time in Winston . . . .
Kephart’s books are a treasure trove. I plan to mine them again for an article on moonshining.
I am most of 64 and had my first drink of shine last night. I will never see 128, nor will I ever have that second drink. I love reading about old timey things. My probably all time favorite book is one of the Foxfire books. Don’t remember the name, but it is the one about cabin building, chimney making, making shakes, butchering, bout all one could want to know. At least in the 50 states, don’t know about the other seven. Probably nothing there I care about.
