From 1920 to 1933, Prohibition was the law of the land, even in the still relatively lawless new Western states. Throughout Washington, Oregon, Montana, Kansas, and elsewhere, bootlegging flourished along with organized crime. Rotgut Rustlers is an unprecedented compilation of true stories about the West's wild outlaws and wild towns during these years - including tales of couples who emulated Bonnie and Clyde, of secret rendezvous, and of cops on the take.
