Book Synopsis Prohibition in Kansas City, Missouri: Highballs, Spooners & Crooked Dice by : John Simonson
Download or read book Prohibition in Kansas City, Missouri: Highballs, Spooners & Crooked Dice written by John Simonson. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like most cities during Prohibition, Kansas City had illegal alcohol, bootleggers, speakeasies, cops on the take, corrupt politicians and moralizing reformers. But by the time the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed, Kansas City had been singled out by one observer as one of the wettest cities, as well as the wickedest. A grocer managed a still in the basement of his store. A raid on the Tingle Oil Company found two hundred drums of oil and the largest illegal brewery ever found in the state. This seedy underworld transformed the Heart of America into the Paris of the Plains. Author John Simonson resurrects forgotten stories by revisiting places where they occurred and telling the salacious history of booze in Kansas City.
