Led by Joe Irlbeck, the whip-smart and gregarious son of a Bavarian immigrant, the outfit of farmers, small merchants, and even the church Monsignor worked together to create a whiskey so excellent it was ordered by name, Templeton Rye. Gentlemen Bootleggers tells a never-before-told tale of ingenuity, bootstrapping, and perseverance in one small town, showcasing a group of immigrants who embraced the American ideals of self-reliance, dynamism, and democratic justice. It relies on previously classified Prohibition Bureau investigation files, federal court case files, extensive newspaper archive research, and a recently disclosed interview with kingpin Joe Irlbeck. Unlike other Prohibition-era tales of big-city gangsters, it provides an important reminder that bootlegging wasnt only about glory and riches, but could be in the service of a higher goal, producing the best whiskey money could buy. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Prohibition|zIowa|xHistory. 650 0 Distilling, Illicit|zIowa|xHistory. 650 0 Whiskey|zIowa|xHistory. 650 0 Electronic books. 651 0 Templeton (Iowa)|xHistory|y20th century. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11332983?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ipg_9781613748510_180.jpeg
