Moonshiners in the Carolina Mountains Keep Livelihoods Alive
A New York Sun piece details the moonshining culture in the North Carolina and nearby mountains. It describes harsh conditions, tax resistance, and a self sufficient, hospitable yet dangerous community where illicit whisky, known as sweet mash, funds rural life. Moonshiners value independence, avoid farms, and defend their trade against federal raids with a mix of hospitality and violence.
