The only authentic, in-depth chronicle of the world's most famous moonshiner, The Moonshiner Popcorn Sutton is also a treasury of exclusive behind-the-scenes color photos of Popcorn Sutton's life, home, and moonshine operation—a multiple award winning volume of photos, essays, and interviews documenting the true story of a modern folk hero.

Marvin 'Popcorn' Sutton learned to make moonshine at an early age, like his father and grandfather before him, and continued to pursue the perfection of the craft throughout his life. He also honed a natural talent for performance and came to fulfill the public's expectations of a hillbilly moonshiner, appearing in documentaries and making moonshine in-person at heritage events. Behind the scenes, however, he was far more complex and much more interesting—although he also lived out the part he played in public, producing and distributing moonshine in ever-increasing volumes. Sutton's uncompromising embrace of tradition ultimately brought him into explosive conflict with the authorities. Now remembered by many as a folk hero, The Moonshiner Popcorn Sutton captures the true story of the man behind the myth in a celebration of craft, heritage, and irrepressible character.
