Moonshine, murder & mountaineers : the wildest county in America / Allen Cook.

Summary:

"There was a time in the Blue Ridge Mountains when scores had to be settled, when fear was replaced with resolve and death was imminent. Around the turn of the 19th century, lynch mobs, gunfights, and the sale of blockade whiskey made Mitchell County, North Carolina the most dangerous place in the country."-- Provided by publisher.
