Historian Richard Hope Discusses Easton During Prohibition on LV Discourse

The city of Easton during Prohibition (1920-33) is our topic. Host John Pearce welcomes local historian Richard Hope, the author of "The Little Apple: Easton, PA During Prohibition." 

Hope takes us through this era when Easton was a rough and tumble place known in NYC and Philadelphia for its speakeasies, brothels, road houses and beer brewing. You’ll find out how Easton became so well known.
