Moonshining as a Fine Art: The Foxfire Americana Library (1)

The history of moonshining is a long one, and no one tells it better than the men who once made a living from it deep in the heart of Appalachia. Originally published in 1972, “Moonshining as a Fine Art” takes you through the their time-honored methods of making (and occasionally hiding) safe, successful stills. It also includes a glossary of moonshining terms and recipes for home-brewed mountain drinks like apple beer and blackberry wine.

The Foxfire Americana Library is a collection of eBooks drawing from The Foxfire Fund’s extensive series of tips, how-to’s, stories, and legends meant to preserve and foster Appalachian culture. The FoxfireMuseum and Heritage Centeris located in Mountain City, Georgia. www.foxfire.org.
