Georgia was knee deep in moonshine during prohibition.  It flowed as freely as the mountain streams of North Georgia.  But, the capital for moonshine was located in Greene County.  A rural county east of Atlanta. It supplied Atlanta with the fiery white liquid that whetted the taste for alcohol and line the pockets of those on the wrong side of prohibition and a few that were suppose to be upholding the law.

All of this changed with a young sheriff named L.L. Wyatt.  Claire Hertler's book, The High Sheriff of Greene County tells both the myth and the legend of this one man's efforts to clean-up Greene County despite the threats and dangers against him.
