Not all moonshiners were men. One of the most famous moonshiners in the United States was Nancy the Moonshiner from Warren County, New Jersey. Nancy stole apples from an orchard near her home at night time and then used those stolen apples to make a type of high proof hard cider. When a governemtn agent came to her house to aprehend her, she fought back and knocked him unconcious before making her getaway out the back window of her home.
