S EVERAL PEOPLE have been very helpful in producing this book. First, I am heavily indebted to Mr. Quinn Pearl, now an attorney in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, a former federal agent and former state commissioner of alcoholic beverages, for allowing me to draw upon his many years of experience and to accompany him in the field. Acknowledgments are due also to the federal A.T.F. unit in Louisville for some helpful suggestions. In order to avoid confusion, it should be noted here that the name of the federal agency responsible for taxation and enforcement under the U.S. Treasury Department was called the Alcohol Tax Unit until July 1, 1951. It was then changed to Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division (IRS). On December 19, 1969, it became the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division (IRS) and on July 1, 1972, its title changed to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Treasury Department, now abbreviated to A.T.F. Throughout this book, unless it is necessary to make specific reference to this agency within a certain time frame, all personnel will be referred to as federal officers, federal agents, or revenue men. These terms, long established in Kentucky usage, are among the more complimentary names applied to the men who raid the stills.
Several members of my present staff have rendered valuable assistance in collecting and processing material. These include Ms. Ivol Parker, Ms. Linda Resh, Ms. Gail Ardery, Ms. Ellesa Clay High, Ms. Helen McCloy Ellison, Ms. Linc Reinhardt, and Mr. William Riley. I gratefully acknowledge a grant from the Institutional Development and Economic Affairs Service, Inc. (IDEAS) which was instrumental in the preparation of this book.

TRADITIONAL
I T'S EASY TO make moonshine. Anyone can do it. In spite of all the secrecy which has, for thousands of years, been woven about the craft of distilling, and despite the complexity that often characterizes the modern chemical processes in progressive distilleries, the basic procedures are very simple. Not only that, but the materials are so common that they are probably right at hand in your own cupboard. And the equipment is in your own kitchen. So why not make a batch? A small batch, that is. Say a fifth or twowhich is quite enough under the law to technically qualify you as a moonshiner.
Where will you make it? That is the first problem confronting every distiller, legitimate or illegitimate. Probably you'll decide on the kitchen sink, and that's a good choice, for there you have running water and a drain down which to dispose of any by-products you don't reclaim. So you can select the sink as your base of operations.
Equipment? No problem. On the stove you'll probably have a pressure cooker; a five-gallon capacity cooker of the type used in canning is preferable. This pressure cooker will become your still. In fact, it will be very close to the copper
