The South, too, is full of tales from this time frame where struggling farmers found it more profitable to covert their corn into liquid --- and an entire sub-culture evolved. Most of the information from that period is still hush-hush in these parts --- and some get miffed at just the mere questioning about the possibility of bootlegging in the family. History, is, however, history and the "tell but don't dwell rule" seems to cover most folks! Thanks for telling this wonderful family story. Bootlegging and other issues are often greeted with "Shhhhhhhhhhh. Let's not talk about this" here in the Hill Country.<BR/><BR/>TERRYTerry Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251750196282728118noreply@blogger.com
