Moonshine: Its History and Folklore by KELLNER, Esther (1971) Hardcover

From the first day of a tax on Irish spirits in the early seventeenth century, moonshining became a life-style that found its roots in America. Moonshining survived wars, insurrections, depressions, temperance movements, Prohibition and the Internal Revenue Service. This is also the saga of the revenue men who stalked through the rugged booby-trapped terrain. Giant among them was Big Six Henderson, who in his years as revenue man sent more than five hundred to prison. Originally published by Bobbs-Merrill, this is a reprint edition. About 8 inches tall, 235 pages, bibliography, glossary.
