Sobre este artículo
Flanker Press. Fine. 2009. First Edition. Softcover. 1897317484 . Stiff clean book in glossy covers. About new. Unmarked but for signature of Andrieux to the title page. ; 8.9 X 5.9 X 0.7 inches; 229 pages; Rumrunners is a history of the smuggling trade between the French Island colonies of St. Pierre and Miquelon and the United States, the Bahamas, and Newfoundland. The distribution of contraband alcohol has always been an element of the culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. However, with the advent of the American Prohibition era (1919–1933) , the French Islands’ illegal practice took on worldwide proportions. This book details the rise and fall of the bootlegging industry in Atlantic waters, the efforts made by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to curb these criminal activities, and the evolution of laws from the Prohibition era to present day that have brought the trade to a virtual standstill. .
