Ozark Moonshine Chronicles - 1



I have different Ozark files & subjects stacked on my desk. One that I have been compiling is entitled, "Ozark Moonshine Chronicles." I will post these every so often.

I found this article in three different newspapers with three different titles...dated 1878. Below is one of them.
Enjoy.

Washington, October 15.
Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue Rogers this afternoon received the following telegram from Revenue Agent J. F. Kinney, dated Little Rock: Information from Baxter county is received that distillers have sunk their still in a bayou, abandoned their fortified works and scattered, alarm having been taken from published dispatches from Washington.
