More Mountain Spirits Bright Mountain Books More Mountain Spirits is an expansion of its predecessor Mountain Spirits, but it’s also a treasure all its own. Recipes for all kinds of spirits are included: brandy, wine, and beer made from every fruit or vegetable you can think of, ranging from blackberry brandy to tomato beer to rhubarb wine. Of course, recipes for corn whiskey and real apple cider are included, too. You’ll also meet more colorful characters—those who were making, transporting, and selling spirits, as well as those who were tracking and arresting them. There’s also a 36-page, step-by-step illustrated guide to building a copper pot still!
Reviews "[More Mountain Spirits] centers on the individual persons throughout the mountain regions [who] share their tales about a simpler lifestyle and bold occupation... All had their own story of moonshine to tell, and Dabney relates their conversations complete with all the color and humor of mountain talk." "This 200 pages of excellent pictures and cold hard facts about whiskey and whiskey people, mountains, revenuers, and county sheriffs is the best thing I've read lately. As we say up here in the mountains, this book is a dandy." "More Mountain Spirits is a sort of Foxfire book on moonshining, complete with recipes. [But] the best part is right at the front—a free-wheeling interview with Simmie Free, a genuine American character."
