Ozark Mountains moonshine

[HolyBear]

I recently did a search under the history and folklore tab for "Ozark" and "Ozarks". I was very disappointed when I found absolutely nothing, no entries. I thought....surely thars sum kinda mistake, we've been makin shine since afor this place was called tha Ozarks... then it dawned on me that of course I wouldn't find much information on it, we are a clannish bunch and tend to keep to ourselves mostly. Because of this, I had to think whether or not to post information I've recently obtained. Would it be a betrayal of my people? Well,...in the interest of posterity, and in the same heart as the Foxfire books, I will post what I have found and will find in the future in order to preserve our stilling heritage for longevity sake.
I post on a Droid phone which is difficult and I'm only able to do it in small portions at a time. So, this will be a running thread....
