📝 Description: More Mountain Spirits: A Continuing Chronicle of Southern Appalachian Corn Whiskey, Wines, Ciders and Beers

"Originally published in 1985 ... a companion volume to Joseph Dabney's American classic Mountain spirits. More mountain moonshine stories and characters on both sides of the law come to life alongside intoxicating recipes for brandy, wine and beer made from every fruit and vegetable grown in the hills. And of course there's corn whiskey and real apple cider, too, as well as a step-by-step illustrated guide to building a copper pot still"--Back cover.

This book is a niche historical artifact rather than a modern culinary guide. It suits readers fascinated by Appalachian lore, the sociology of moonshining, or vintage distilling techniques. However, it does not suit contemporary mixologists seeking refined cocktail recipes or those looking for current food writing trends. The tone is narrative and archival, focusing on stories and basic construction rather than sophisticated gastronomy. Readers expecting a polished, modern cookbook will be disappointed by its raw, companion-volume status to an earlier 1985 text.
