Moberg's research presents a down-to-earth, nitty-gritty account of who did what, when, how and where during Prohibition in the valley. Thirty years of interviews include accounts of first person participants, their children, other relatives and friends and is reinforced by information from local papers to provide unique insights into an era found nowhere else. Moberg's stories offer an authentic glimpse of St. Croix Valley moonshine distilled by local farmers and bootlegged to markets in Minnesota's Twin Cities. This book reflects the failed experiment that was the 18th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution. Ward Moberg taught in the Osceola Public Schools, Osceola Wisconsin. He has researched and written many historical articles about the St. Croix River Valley and with his wife Kathy edited and published The Dalles Visitor for six years.
