a term applied to makers or smugglers of illicit whiskey; taken from they being supposed to carry on their operations under cover of the night, by the monnlight.
The most irreverent bunch there is is them that
goes to church. That's right. An old bootlegger,
moonshiner, coming down the street, passing
around, and half drunk, you talk to him about
the Lord, he'll stand and talk to you.
