As far as I'm concerned that is still all it is good for. During the years when Kansas was a dry state many a man got his financial brewing moonshine and/or bootlegging between Missouri of Colorado and points all over Kansas. Three old maid sisters the last of which passed away last year at the age of 99 could tell the stories and name the names that went with them. I reaally should have recorded several interviews with Vivian before she died. Her mind was clear as a bell right up until the end. Poor old souls left an estate of over 3 million which was divided amongst the schools in the county. I and others did a lot of gratis work for the "girls" because we felt sorry for them. Back in those days there were no speed limits and I learned to drive with the floorboard as my only limiting factor. There were some pretty innovative machines back then and I'd bet one or two are still languishing in a hay barn here and there.

Dodge City huh? Weeeelllll, I had this great great uncle out that ways. Called him Uncle Whiskey Bill! He did his share of drinking (probably more). Said the only thing Dodge City was good for was cattle russling! They finally caught him when the still sucked his tongue into the discharge spout and he couldn't get away! That whiskey was probally made with sparkling spring water. (Which there was an abundance of back then).
Believe this and I'll tell another one!
