Abstract:
Once the despair of many a Federal prohibition agent, East Lake, a little swamp-hidden village of perhaps 250 souls on the Dare County mainland, has had hard sledding since the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment went by the boards. East Lake, the unofficial capital of booze making back in the Dry Era lay its chief claim to glory on a potent variety of ardent spirits known far and wide as \"East Lake Dew\" and marketed in quart bottles bearing imported labels.
