Today’s tale takes us to Johnston County, North Carolina, for the story of **Percy Flowers**—known far and wide as the **"King of the Moonshiners."** A man who ran a bootlegging empire so vast and well-oiled, it brought in more money than some legal distilleries. A man who was loved by his community, feared by the feds, and who walked that fine line between sinner and saint.

This one’s bigger than backwoods. This is empire-building—with a copper still at the heart of it all.
