(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (Prohibition) Harold Waters. Smugglers of Spirits: Prohibition and the Coast Guard Patrol. *Signed*

Illus. with photographs. Jacket. First Edition. NY: Hastings House, [1971].

Warmly inscribed by Waters to his shipmate, Winslow Rouse, dated 1972. Waters was a lieutenant in the Coast Guard in the 1920's, and herein introduces his shipmates shortly before the orders change from hunting icebergs to chasing "rummies." A fascinating memoir of the Rum War, and a great association copy in very good condition.
