Prohibition outlawed the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol from 1919 to 1933 but that didn’t stop Texans from imbibing during those dry years.

Photograph shows men of Smith's Company of the Texas Rangers posed behind barrels of confiscated bootleg liquor. Nov. 9, 1922 near Tyler, Texas.

Support for prohibition plummeted during the Great Depression in 1929 and Texans ratified a repeal of the state dry law in 1935. Photograph shows Texas Rangers arresting the moonshiners outside small building at edge of oilfield. Derricks in background. Circa 1922.
