Chesapeake Rumrunners of the Roaring Twenties

Chesapeake Rumrunners of the Roaring Twenties is a saga of people -- watermen and steamer captains, mob racketeers and "legitimate" businessmen -- all of them wanting part of the action. In the maze of Bay waters, boats played a key role in that action, many disguised as workboats but built for speed and the ability to out-maneuver the law.On the other side, Billy Sunday and an army of temperance crusaders campaigned tirelessly to encourage Prohibition, while federal agents and Coast Guardsmen shared the impossible task of enforcing it.
