DESCRIPTION:This presentation will include information about some unique i
 nnovations in moonshining that we can see in the archaeological records to
 day. The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area was once referre
 d to as Between the Rivers both in Kentucky and Tennessee. From the time o
 f the first settlers in the late 1700s there existed a tradition of alcoho
 l distillation. This was a natural source of additional income or a produc
 t of personal consumption, that could be derived from crops like corn or f
 ruits from orchards. When Prohibition was introduced followed by the Great
  Depression, these family traditions grew into an industry. Following the 
 end of Prohibition, the moonshine industry continued but legal enforcement
  became arguably more resilient. Carl Feagans holds a master’s degree 
 in anthropology with a focus on archaeology from the University of Texas a
 t Arlington. As an archaeologist, he’s worked both in the Pecos Canyonla
 nds of South Texas and Western Kentucky and Tennessee. Currently he works 
 for the United States Forest Service and is the Assistant Heritage Program
  Manager at the Land Between the Lakes. As an archaeologist, his current i
 nterests lie in 19th century Iron Industry sites of the Cumberland Valley
  as well as Clandestine Distilleries as they appear in the archaeological 
 record of the Land Between the Lakes.All programs are free & open to t
 he public
