Sugar in My Whiskey by Duncan McGonall is novelette written about the Pilkerman clan who reside in Maogupsie County, I'm going to assume, Alabama. The Pilkermans moved back to Maogupsie after the war and from my deduction, set about growing corn and setting up a distillery to supply liquor to the residents of Maogupsie County. The family prospered from that, just as their ancestors before them did. The story is written in authentic sounding southern dialect, which adds to the uniqueness of the book. There was a lot of bucked-ass naked and whiskey slupping going on, i.e.,Jones' idea of taking a chance is to recommend `put a little sugar in your whiskey'. A Different read for sure.
