Here's how it really worked... Runners were carrying 100 gallons of shine every night into the cities and there were thousands of runners... Do the math... Those stills were on every creek with fresh water in the South...

I just attended a seminar on the history of moonshine last month and whereas, yeah, the stills were smallish and only produced 10-15 gallons a day, it all added up to a massive amount of shine...

The book is very informative...

This was way beyond just a few stills and a couple hundred gallons... It was an entire industry...
