Multi Genre Project Proposal
For my multi genre project I would like to possibly look at the prohibition era from the moonshiner's view. What I would really like to learn more about is the story of a poor, Georgia farmer: my grandmother's father's story. I already know that he and his family ran moonshine and had several skirmishes with the law, but I want a better understanding of his life and other struggling farmers that turned to moon-shining and boot-legging. Unfortunately, my great grandfather has passed, but I could still use both my grandparents and my mother as primary sources as they all often heard his stories.
