Lawrence's Prohibition era liquor tale from Lawrence to Kansas City
Lawrence residents kept brewing during Prohibition drawing broad support in 1886 reports while temperance protests by the Womens Crusade in 1874 shut some Kansas saloons. Gov. Walter Stubbs pushed anti bootlegging, and by the 1930s 40s most liquor came from outside the state to Lawrence illegal taverns near Leavenworth County.
