The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is
Kentucky's illustrious gift to the world of spirits. Although the
story of American whiskey is recorded in countless lively pages of
our nation's history, the place of bourbon in the American cultural
record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. Not a
recipe book or a barman's guide, but a fascinating and informative
contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects
an aspect of our national cultural identity that many have long
suppressed or overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the
liquor's presence during America's early development, as well as
bourbon's role in some of the more dramatic events in American
history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the
Whiskey Ring, and the "whiskey forts" of the fur trade. The Social
History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic
beverage in the development of American manners and culture.
