Manage episode 445084026 series 3596940
In this week’s episode, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Bruce Baker, who introduces us to the fascinating story of John Henry Hardin from Cherokee County, Georgia. Dr. Baker transports us back to the early 1900s, delving into the world of moonshining in Northwest Georgia. He shares the industrious spirit of Hardin in the moonshining industry, along with the numerous encounters Hardin had with the law.
This episode kicks off a compelling three-part series on the history of moonshining. As we explore these stories, we’ll also reflect on the timeless wisdom of Cicero: “What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage.”
