Moonshine: A life in pursuit of white liquor

In MOONSHINE, Alec Wilkinson gives us a vivid portrait of an American original -- a modern day "revenuer," Garland Bunting. Bunting works the rural back-country of North Carolina, in an area that has always been enormously productive of moonshine, notoriously hard on revenue agents. "Articulate, canny, imaginative, Bunting clearly enjoys his life, and in this book he and it are vividly portrayed. Wilkinson has celebrated a contemporary who is at the same time a figure out of history...a book with humor, energy, compassion." (Publisher's Source)
