{"product_id":"2940150072435","title":"Macon Moore","description":"This is a story of detective work among the Moonshiners in the mountain wilds of Southern Georgia. You should read it from the perspective of when it was published -- the late 19th century. Writing styles from that period are much different than today, and you should enjoy it as much for its style as its story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is not a slow line in the entire book; it is written in a style that commands attention right from the drop of the hat. The first word is an exclamation, and they keep coming thick and fast. The best part of it all is that Macon Moore is a gentleman detective and in no sense a swashbuckled ruffian. He has the courage to meet even criminals and desperadoes on the level; in short he is what the schoolboy would call \" A corker.\" Nobody save one schooled in the experience of adventure can read this book without feeling that they have learned some lessons of caution and of true courage. They will also gain some valuable ideas which may serve them well at some time in an emergency. Like all fiction there are places where the story strains the probable, but is within the possible. On the whole we think it a mighty clever, well written, interesting book -- a perfect panorama of startling events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of the book contains one original illustrations, and 12 additional photographs from the general area and time period.","brand":"New York: J.
