Dr. Matthew Bondurant, '93 Grad and Masters Degree from JMU is the author of the book," The Wettest County In The World". This book served as the basis for the film Lawless.

I recommend you guys to buy the book or at least rent the movie.

This work describes the accounts of Bondurant's Great Grandfather and Uncles during Prohibition. True story documenting bootlegging in Franklin County, VA.

Franklin County is still bootlegging like crazy. Parts of FC seem like a completely different place from the rest of Virginia. It's like an interesting time-warp for me when I'm there.

Matt was also a Pi Kappa Phi at JMU.

Delta Tau shoutout!

Yeah, the guys at jmusportsblog interviewed him about a year ago, it's a great read.

I can't find a search on their site, so unless you want to dig through it all you'll have to take my word for it.
