While scratching out his daily living he has little time to think about such tales. Until the old moonshiner that he has teamed up with reveals that he has stumbled onto one of the caves that holds a part of Jonathon Swift's silver cache. And further, that this self-same moonshiner has in the past gained access to Dr. James Crow's secret bourbon recipe. Cullen makes the dangerous decision to wrest these away for his own gain. Suddenly this secret knowledge makes all things possible to him. And he will use the fruits of this knowledge to join the Bluegrass elite.Charles L.
