Description: Here is [THE REVISED edition of] Frank W. Anderson's rollicking account of the Prohibition years: - the schemes by temperance and moral leaders to convince the government to pass a Prohibition bill to halt the use and trafficking of liquor - the loopholes in the law that rumrunners could easily drive their product through - the escapades of Emperor Pick, the Bottle King, whose lucrative bottle-collecting business was a front for his more secretive liquor trafficking business - the covert operations of John Greenburg and Mike Segal, whose backwoods still was never found - Mr. Big's many hideouts along the Crowsnest Pass road where he could cache the liquor if the police was chasing him or his cohorts - and stories of ordinary citizens across the province who risked their lives and livelihoods just to be able to lift a glass.
