Justice in the Mountains: stories & tales by a Vermont country lawyer
Deane C. Davis
Illustrations by Sue Storey
Forty-four masterfully told tales by former Vermont governor Deane C. Davis. He takes us along on his rounds as a Vermont in the 1920s and 30s, giving us a wry Yankee perspective into the life and law of that era. Both funny and discerning, this book is a journey into Vermont's past.
"This book is a must-read for any lawyer seeking a little down-home
insight into the Vermont courtroom. It's a must-read for any true
lover of Vermont's rich history and character. Most of all, Justice
in the Mountains is a must-read for anyone who loves a good yarn told
with devotion to subject and the driest of Vermont humor." -- Howard Dean, M.D. and Governor of Vermont
"Everyone who knows Deane C. Davis knows that he is a master storyteller. But few could have guessed that when the Governor assembled a collection of his stories he would create a book that is instant folklore. The master storyteller is also a writer of insight, wit, and quintessential Vermont character." --Vermont Life

Nothin' but the Truth
Deane C. Davis
"Davis has searched his memory and has come up with a second collection of seventy-five tales, some very short, some longer, all as Yankee as can be. Plain Vermont folk speak here through Davis and for all those who love Vermonters, their laconic, dry wit, their knack for tale-telling, this new book will be a treat."--Publishers Weekly

Rumrunners and Revenuers: Prohibition in Vermont
Scott Wheeler
From 1920 to 1933, Vermont was on the front lines of a battle between those who would enforce Prohibition and those who would evade it. In this book we hear first-and accounts from fourteen Vermonters whose families participated in this great national experiment--on both sides of the law. The book includes 62 photographs and other items of memorabilia from the period.

The People's Republic: Vermont and the Sanders Revolution
Greg Guma
The People's Republic: Vermont and the Sanders Revolution is the first comprehensive analysis of Sanders' mayoral years and the progressive movement in Vermont. Greg Guma's exploration of the "revolution" goes beyond Sanders and his impact on Burlington, however. The factors behind the initial surprise victory, the tension between leftist ideals and pragmatic politics, the evolution of an effective political coalition outside of the two-party system-all these topics Guma investigates with an eye on global political implications as well as the immediate local impact.
