FDPL presenting Iowa’s Prohibition legacy program on Monday
Fort Dodge Public Library, 424 Central Ave., is presenting a program at 6 p.m. Monday on Iowa’s Prohibition and Bootlegging Legacy. Join Iowa historical fiction writer, Ann Hanigan Kotz, as she takes you through the early 20th century in her program. You’ll discover the state’s Prohibition journey along with why many families turned to bootlegging. Hanigan Kotz takes you through the distant past, beginning with the murder of a pastor in Sioux City, the tarring of an official by the Iowa City Beer Mafia, the rumrunning of Iowa’s infamous rye whiskey in Templeton, and ending with the current exploits of today’s underground whiskey business.
