Finished in Philadelphia ten minutes before wartime Prohibition took effect in 1919, this burlesque imagines America after the drought. A zealous prohibitionist rounds up suspected drinkers into an internment camp, and the story spirals through juleps, gooseberry bombs and a great war between the wets and the drys.

A playful, punning satire by Morley and Bart Haley, dedicated to G. K. Chesterton. Download the free EPUB.
