Third printing of a legal history and local history at its best. A real group of people, a real series of trials. See how post-Civil-War Virginia coped with lack of livelihoods and how moonshining filled a void. The accounts of the many defendants and witnesses in the various trials make the book even more interesting, as their ways of explaining things, their expressions, their vocabulary truly set this era apart.
