From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon has come to symbolize America.

He studies the men who've been championed as its inventors over time--from Daniel Boone's cousin to Baptist minister Elijah Craig--and, based on new research and never-before-seen documentation, answers the question of who deserves the credit.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFred Minnick\u003c\/b\u003e is a Wall Street Journal best-selling author and the writer of award-winning books, such as \u003ci\u003eBourbon Curious\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBourbon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRum Curious\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhiskey Women\u003c\/i\u003e.
