{"product_id":"prohibition-in-bardstown-dixie-hibbs-9781540203489","title":"Prohibition in Bardstown: Bourbon, Bootlegging \u0026 Saloons","description":"Some Bardstown, Kentucky residents argued for an alcohol ban as early as the mid-1800s despite the fact that whiskey and bourbon were local staples. When Prohibition finally arrived, independent and inventive residents secretly kept the city wet. A deacon once stored whiskey in a baptismal pool. Seventy-year-old Aunt Be-At Hurst allegedly made her homebrew out of her bathtub. Some locals even burned distillery warehouses to cover up thefts. Crime ran so rampant that revenue collector Robert H. Lucas threatened to have the governor summon the state militia. Join historians Dixie Hibbs and Doris Settles as they detail the history of Bardstown booze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dixie Hibbs, Doris Settles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540203484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540203489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Dixie Hibbs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989275672831,"sku":"9781540203489","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff4e7ec9-a43e-4d7e-a7a4-6900e80ab04b.jpg?v=1683298578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prohibition-in-bardstown-dixie-hibbs-9781540203489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
