Join author Oakley Dean Baldwin at the Public Library of Johnston County & Smithfield as he discusses his book J. Percy Flowers The Master Distiller.

"A true Johnston County story! Moonshining has been a long-standing tradition in America, and the stories of legendary moonshiners such as Amos Owens, Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton, Jim Tom Hedrick, Mahalia “Big Haley” Mullins, and racing icon Junior Johnson have become embedded in Western North Carolina folklore. In North Carolina, J. Percy Flowers' moonshining activities surpassed all others who ever fired up a moonshine still. You will soon understand why he was the greatest of all time."
