BTW, Beer, some folks say that Steve Earle's song "Copperhead Road" as inspired by Percy Flowers exploits...
BTW, part 2... Percy Flowers made so much money from bootlegging that he had a 1000 plus farm in eastern North Carolina which is now and entire gated community with all the amenities that is run by his daughter... It's about 60 southwest of Raleigh, NC in the middle of no-where and you can imagine just what a large operation they could have had going on back there in the sticks...
