A high-spirited history of the role bourbon has played in American life and culture, "documented and full of folklore" ( Kirkus Reviews). The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is Kentucky's illustrious gift to the nation. While much has been written about whiskey, the particular place of bourbon in the American cultural record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. A fascinating and informative contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects an aspect of our national cultural identity that has been widely overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the liquor's presence during America's early development, as well as bourbon's role in some of the more dramatic events in American history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the Whiskey Ring, and the "whiskey forts" of the fur trade. From moonshiners to the Civil War to Old West saloons and the privations of Prohibition, The Social History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic beverage in the development of American manners and culture. "Goes into the families and personalities of bourbon's early history and does so with humor... a great cause to raise a glass." ¿ Rowley's Whiskey Forge
