"When 'Bear Cat' Went Dry" by Charles Neville Buck delves into the life of Turner Stacy, affectionately known as Bear Cat, as he navigates the tumultuous waters of his father's illegal moonshining operations. This gripping narrative explores themes of loyalty and rebellion against the backdrop of a society grappling with the complexities of legality and morality. Ideal for students and historians alike, this novel offers a vivid portrayal of a time when unregulated spirits clashed with the law, making it a compelling read for those interested in the cultural impact of Prohibition on rural America.
