                                                AUTHOR VISIT

Join Iowa historical fiction writer, Ann Hanigan Kotz, as she takes you through the early 20^th century in her program, Iowa’s Prohibition & Bootlegging Legacy. You’ll discover the state’s Prohibition journey along with why many families turned to bootlegging. Ann takes you through the distant past, beginning with the murder of a pastor in Sioux City, the tarring of an official by the Iowa City Beer Mafia, the rumrunning of Iowa’s infamous rye whiskey in Templeton, and ending with the current exploits of today’s underground whiskey business. Ann Hanigan Kotz’s third novel exposes the power struggle between the law and the lawless and once again brings readers to Iowa’s past.

This program is scheduled for Thursday, May 15 at 1:30 PM at the Garnavillo Public Library.
