Bryce T. Bauer: Gentleman Bootleggers

Gentlemen Bootleggers: The True Story of Templeton Rye, Prohibition, and a Small Town in Cahoots by Bryce T. Bauer

Gentlemen Bootleggers tells a tale of a group of immigrants and first-generation Americans who embraced the ideals of self-reliance and democratic justice in the face of prohibition.

It provides an important reminder that bootlegging wasn’t only about glory and riches, but could also be in the service of a higher goal - producing the best whiskey money could buy.
