Reviews
A highly readable and always engaging account of the place of moonshining in the history of the Tar Heel State" -- Journal of Southern History, Tar Heel Lightnin' proves that moonshine is the key to understanding North Carolina's history. In doing so, author Daniel Pierce succeeds in treating moonshiners historically with the necessary caveats and without romanticizing criminals into being wholesome heroes. Additionally, Tar Heel Lightnin' discusses the context of moonshine's role in history by addressing southern poverty, southern justice, and southern pride." -- Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, Like all powerful historical accounts, Pierce's book both humanizes and complicates its subject. Stripping away cliches, it reframes moonshining as not merely a symbol of rebellion but also as the fruit of considerable ingenuity and a fundamental drive to survive.-- Mountain Xpress, Well informed and entertainingly written. . . . The greatest strength of the book is its tone, which is engaging and conversational. Discussions of popular culture representations of moonshiners complement the historical narrative, and entertaining asides such as the author's "North Carolina Moonshine Playlist" (in chapter 14) add flavor and a touch of whimsy to the book.-- Choice Reviews, Handsome and abundantly illustrated. . . . Pierce is both a fine historian and clear writer who should appeal to a wide audience: academics of many fields; North Carolinian general readers who want to know more about their state; NASCAR fans; and anybody who is curious about a significant element of American culture.-- North Carolina Historical Review, A crucial read, rich in both historical detail and folklore, dotted with compelling photos and century-old graphics.-- Capital at Play, Pierce's book is a crucial read, rich in both historical detail and folklore, dotted with compelling photos and century-old graphics, and featuring extended looks at everyone from Sutton, Polk County bootlegger Betty Sims, and The Andy Griffith Show, to contemporary (and legal) locals like Troy & Sons' Troy Ball and Howling Moon Distillery's Cody Bradford." -- Capital at Play, Well informed and entertainingly written. . . .

Synopsis
From the late nineteenth century well into the 1960s, North Carolina boasted some of the nation's most restrictive laws on alcohol production and sale. For much of this era, it was also the nation's leading producer of bootleg liquor. Over the years, written accounts, popular songs, and Hollywood movies have turned the state's moonshiners, fast cars, and frustrated Feds into legends. But in Tar Heel Lightnin' , Daniel S. Pierce tells the real history of moonshine in North Carolina as never before. This well-illustrated, entertaining book introduces a surprisingly varied cast of characters who operated secret stills and ran liquor from the swamps of the Tidewater to Piedmont forests and mountain coves. From the state's earliest days through Prohibition to the present, Pierce shows that moonshine crossed race and economic lines, linking men and women, the rebellious and the respectable, the oppressed and the merely opportunistic. As Pierce recounts, even churchgoing types might run shipments of "that good ol' mountain dew" when hard times came and there was no social safety net to break the fall. Folklore, popular culture, and changing laws have helped fuel a renaissance in making and drinking commercial moonshine, and Pierce shows how today's producers understand their ties to the past. Above all, this book reveals that moonshine's long, colorful history features surprises that can change how we understand a state and a region., Tells the real history of moonshine in North Carolina as never before. This well-illustrated, entertaining book introduces a surprisingly varied cast of characters who operated secret stills and ran liquor from the swamps of the Tidewater to Piedmont forests and mountain coves.
