NOODLING FOR FLATHEADS - Burkhard Bilger























A series of essays about the US you never hear about.  These stories are as far removed from Hollywood or Fifth Avenue as you are likely to find.

These essays cover noodling for flatheads , catching catfish by hand ( putting your hand under logs etc and grabbing the fish by its mouth).

Cock fighting, at the time of writing it was still legal in some states.  Moonshine brewing , still huge but being over taken by meth cooking. 

Eating squirrels brains, frog farming, so a totally different view of the US, fascinating in parts.

Worth finding and having a read
