Evidence and limit

Located evidence

Cowdery describes Peoria’s whiskey economy as a coupled system of corn and water, river and rail transport, grain markets, feedlots, slaughterhouses, dairies, ice and cold storage, banks, insurers, immigrant labor, and support services; he then traces how the Whiskey Trust consolidated plants, closed competitors, and survived through later corporate forms.

Strong secondary synthesis for system structure; verify production totals, distillery counts, trust chronology, and corporate succession with local and archival sources.
