Brought to you by a Member of the



Alan "Pete" Harvey,

My family was farmers, and we lived on a farm south of Glen St. Mary in the Manning section. We made our living from the farm and my father didn't make any moonshine, but he certainly consumed a lot of it.

When I was growing up, I learned from hearsay who was making moonshine and transporting it. You could always tell the people that transported moonshine because they had extra spring leaves put in the rear of their cars and had them souped up to run fast.

Growing up I never thought of the people that made moonshine and the ones that transported it as doing anything wrong, that was just a way to make a living.

My only participation in the moonshine business happened when I was a senior in high school. A classmate's mother had a coupe car and he persuaded me one night to go to with him to haul a load of moonshine -- about 10 five-gallon jugs -- and drop it off in the woods outside Gainesville. We loaded up these 10 jugs and went to Gainesville.
He never told me who he was transporting moonshine for. When we were unloading it, we broke one of the jugs in his mother's car and we had a time getting it out of the car and fumigating it so his mother wouldn't know what we were doing.

My parents never knew I did such a thing, and I don't know if his mother ever found out or not. We were scared to death and we never did it again." -- Alan 'Pete' Harvey, former Superintendent of Baker County Schools Many a gallon of good shine came from deep inside this area.
