Plot Summary of A Drifter's Legacy
"As given in the title, this is a collection of short stories. The period covered is from the sixties to the present day and also spans the genres of romance, crime and life. The thread running through them all is whisky. How it is made, tested and drunk with the inevitable result, for some, of over indulgence and ultimately alcoholism. "
Eddie Bruce, Resident Scholar
