That history can seem romantic, but the county has a dark and violent past. The descendants of the Scots-Irish who settled its rugged mountains openly defied the law and employed their own notions of justice to defend their traditions and livelihood. During Prohibition, the production of moonshine skyrocketed, but the liquor didn't stop flowing from the mountains when the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed. County and state officials struggled to maintain order in a region where unsolved murders, strange disappearances, and senseless killings were a way of life. The peak came in 1978, with nine murders linked to moonshine and drugs in the county. Historian and Virginia native Phillip Andrew Gibbs tells story of that horrific year and the history behind it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phillip Andrew Gibbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467153389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467153386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Phillip Andrew Gibbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128967131391,"sku":"9781467153386","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6232e1a4-bc8f-4bac-abda-defd7aaa13f2.jpg?v=1687461376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-and-mountain-justice-in-phillip-andrew-gibbs-9781467153386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
