SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The author tells the story of the vast smuggling network that brought high-end distilled spirits &, eventually, other cargoes (including undocumented immigrants) from Great Britain & Europe through Cuba to the United States between 1920 & the end of Prohibition. Because of their proximity to liquor-exporting islands, the numerous beaches along the southern coast presented ideal landing points for smugglers & distribution points for their supply networks. From the warehouses of liquor wholesalers in Havana to the decks of rum runners to transportation networks heading northward, Dorr explores these operations, from the people who ran the trade to the determined efforts of the US Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies to stop liquor traffic on the high seas, in Cuba, & in southern communities. In the process, she shows the role smuggling played in creating a more transnational, enterprising, & modern South.
