CORN FROM A JAR: MOONSHINING IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS In the Great Smoky Mountains, moonshine making was a world unto itself.

On the one hand, moonshining was about dynamite-toting lookouts, fast cars, snitching, quick cash, hidden stills, “revenuers,” and deadly gunplay.

On the other, it was a story of earnest farm families living in remote mountain valleys and practicing their traditional craft of moonshining so they could buy shoes for their children. Yet perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this book is the sudden resurgence of making moonshine in the Southern mountains today. Learn about the traditions, foibles and dangers of mountain “blockading” from the early 19th century to tomorrow.

“What better topic than a journey into a forbidden realm, complete with witches, robber barons, noble savages and a winsome lady, all wrapped in a cloak of mystery and myth?” asks reviewer Gary Carden. Kephart is featured in Ken Burn’s PBS series on our national parks.

HAZEL CREEK: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF AN ICONIC MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY It’s amazing to read about all the things that happened on Hazel Creek. A famous writer mysteriously arrived and settled into a remote log cabin. A mine opened and showed great promise . . . until things turned very sour. One of the biggest lumber companies in the country set up shop and brought opportunity and prosperity for all. TVA decided to build a large dam to help the US win World War II, and a once-bustling town found itself inconveniently within the boundaries of our nation’s most popular national park. Nominated for a Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award.
