Appalachia’s Moonshine Matriarch– The True Story of Mag Bailey

Описание: Fog still clings to the Georgia hills where she once ruled.
This is the true story of Mag Bailey, the Moonshine Matriarch of Rabun County — a woman who built an empire of copper stills, loyal kin, and silence that outlasted the law itself.
From the Prohibition years through the Great Depression, Mag Bailey’s name carried both fear and respect. She wasn’t a gangster or a showgirl—she was a mountain queen who turned survival into power and the hills into her fortress.
Sit back and let the story unfold: betrayal, defiance, and the slow, haunting fall of a dynasty built on smoke, fire, and Appalachian grit.
🎬 Told in the authentic voice and atmosphere of Holler Tales — where Appalachian history comes alive by firelight.
Historical Note:
Stories of a “Mag Bailey” appear throughout Appalachian folklore — most famously along the Kentucky–Virginia border near Pine Mountain, and also in the Blue Ridge hills of North Georgia. This retelling draws from those overlapping legends to honor the mountain women who ruled their world in silence and strength.
