After much thought, I have decided to start gathering material & research Bootlegging in Monroe County Michigan.
I have come across several referances about bootlegging & prohibition in Monroe and thought it would make an interesting book. Monroe has a lot of great history but is forgotten or more so ”over-shadowed” by other major events and/or personalities which they deserve their due however; there is more to Monroe.
I decided to take this on and I would like to ask Monroe County Residents for their stories, pictures, newspaper articles, etc. that is related to bootlegging in Monroe County.
Your name will not be used if requested. I would also like to include photos of the reported tunnels and secret hide-aways where the alcohol was hidden. Including reported speak-easys.
I am not sure about who or how it will be published however; if I am able to collect information for the book, I will work and find a way for publication.
Any submissions please send to jjmj63@gmail.com
Thank you in advance.
