   There are two books on moonshining that deal with its culture.  One is by
a linguist who became interested in the argot of deviant groups in America.
See David Maurer, KENTUCKY MOONSHINE (Un. Press of Kentucky, 1974).
   The other is by an amature and might be somewhat fictionalized:  Esther
Kellner, MOONSHINE: ITS HISTORY AND FOLKLORE (Weathervane Books, 1971)
