Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. White Lightning in the Sunshine State: Florida Moonshine HistoryMoonlight on copper and salt air. Engines whispering down sand roads. Lanterns winking just offshore. This vivid, deeply researched history takes you inside Florida's hidden economy of "white lightning"-from frontier saloons and island rum to swamp stills, high-octane getaways, and the craft-distilling revival that followed.Across twelve immersive chapters, you'll trace the whole arc: temperance crusades and county "local option" fights, the 1918 statewide ban, Bahamian sloops and Cuban freighters feeding Rum Row, outlaw legends in the Everglades, cat-and-mouse raids by sheriffs and revenuers, the backwoods techniques that made clean liquor (and the mistakes that didn't), the birth of stock-car swagger on dirt ovals, and why moonshining didn't end when Prohibition did. It's Florida in full-independent, defiant, adaptable.What you'll discover: How geography-1,000+ miles of shoreline, mangrove mazes, and piney backcountry-made Florida the perfect stage for smugglers and still makers.The real stories behind colorful figures like bank-robbing rum pirates and the lawmen who learned to track steam at dawn.Exactly how a backwoods still worked: the mash, the cuts, the dangers-and the craft.Why bootleg roads became racetracks and how Saturday-night racing culture grew from Thursday-night runs.Repeal's messy aftermath and how "legal moonshine" and modern distilleries turned an outlaw into an icon.Why readers love it: Cinematic storytelling that smells like mash and feels like Florida night air-paired with clear, trustworthy history.A warm, conversational voice that guides you through complex ideas without losing the fun.Memorable mini-stories, practical explanations, and "sticky insights" that make the past feel present.Perfect for fans of American history, true-crime lore, Southern culture, transportation and car-racing origins, and anyone curious about how a place shapes its people-and how those people shape a legend.Open the jar, so to speak, and step into Florida after dark. The story of white lightning is the story of the Sunshine State itself. This item is printed on demand.
