{"product_id":"mooreville-9780997645859","title":"Mooreville","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Mooreville,\" is the story of Anne Commire's grandfather's family during Prohibition and the Depression. George\u003cbr\u003e Moore was first a barber and Justice of the Peace, then Chief of Police in Ecorse, Michigan, directly across the Detroit River from Windsor, Ontario. Over 80% of the illegal beer and liquor that entered the United States from Canada came directly into his town.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e How does George enforce the law among friends when bootlegging is one of the only jobs available to feed a family, and his own son may be involved? And, as Ecorse experiences gangland shootings, bombings, and\u003cbr\u003e mysterious murders, is Chief Moore himself becoming a target of the Black Legion, a little-known Klan-like organization which threatens and kills throughout Ohio and Michigan?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After their mother dies a lingering death from tuberculosis, how do George's six daughters cope when he marries the controlling schoolteacher whom they all dislike? This, just when their father is preoccupied with crimes making the daily newspapers? Often hilarious, occasionally tragic, all of the events are true; exhaustively researched to accurately reflect the era, Commire's wit and delicious language bring this story to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-68113\"\u003eAnne Commire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Onion River Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997645859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0997645857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036090\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | Midwest(IA,IL,IN,KS,MI,MN,MO\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Onion River Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44523732861165,"sku":"9780997645859","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ca99e2a9-38b6-4d18-9bee-b7687ba80c3d.jpg?v=1701324623","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/mooreville-9780997645859","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
