Riassunto

Return to Thunder Road is the real-life story of moonshining as a way of life in the southern Appalachians. Readers will ride with the moonshiners as they tell their stories from corn mash to car loads of "mountain dew". This is a powerful saga of an age gone by when making whiskey grew from a small operation to pass time to a massive effort to shut down the multi-million dollar trade with a manhunt that put most moonshiners out of business, and many behind bars. Alex Gabbard tells the story of moonshining in the mountains where he grew up and how it inflenced the rural south and fledgling stock car racing, giving the sport its most colorful and enduring characters.
