The old adage says ¿A watched pot never boils¿, but I feel there are also times when ¿An unwatched pot always boils over¿. Such was the case in Carroll County, Virginia at the turn of the twentieth century. By 1900 the water was simmering between the mostly Democratic Allens and the Republican led court system. Cries of illegalities from the Allens against the court officials were met with claims of Allen bullying that led to unfulfilled jail sentences. Heat was turned up in 1911 when nephews of the Allens were involved in a fight that ordinarily would have been interpreted as ¿boys being boys¿. Instead numerous charges were brought against the nephews, while no charges were brought by the parties that initiated the skirmish. The water reached a boiling point when the nephews were extradited in a manner in which the Allens felt was improper. New charges of interfering with the duties of an officer then resulted in numerous charges against the Allen men themselves. Although the Allens, and the court officials, had been in hot water before, it took a March day in 1912 for the pot to boil over and become what will forever be known as ¿The Carroll County Shootout¿. This is the story of the aftermath of that shooting. Follow Jeremiah Haynes, a Richmond journalist, as he comes to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to ¿find the truth,¿ a truth that no one wanted told.

It was so dark that she couldn't see anything but headlights. There was no guardrail along the steep drop to the riverbank, but Megan pulled over as close to the edge as possible to allow the car to pass. It didn't pull out to pass but continued to ease up closer to the rear of her car. Then, Megan and Roberta were thrown forward as it bumped the rear of her car. Roberta screamed, and Megan yelled, "Mama, tighten your seat belt!" She was trying to pull her own belt tighter when they were bumped again. She tried to speed up, but the other vehicle stayed right on her bumper. Then she tried to slow down, and it finally pulled out to pass. But when it pulled even with the left rear of Megan's car, it swerved into her car. Megan had no room to move over since she was already right on the edge of the steep embankment. She tried to speed up again, but the right front fender of the other vehicle hit her left rear side again and caused her to lose control. Megan's car fishtailed back and forth across the narrow road and then went over the steep embankment

"Shapiro is one of the few writers on this subject that actually understands the strategy, the tactics, and the internal politics of a dynamic and growing movement. This is environmental journalism at it best."—Mike Roselle, Earth First! founder and author of Tree Spiker Mountaintop removal (MTR) does exactly what it says: a mountaintop is stripped of trees, blown to bits with explosives, then pushed aside by giant equipment—all to expose a layer of coal to be mined. Hundreds of thousands of acres of ancient forested mountains have been "removed" this way and will never again support the biologically rich and diverse forest and stream communities that evolved there over millions of years—all to support our flawed national energy policy. Mountain Justice tells a terrific set of firsthand stories about living with MTR and offers on-the-scene—and behind-the-scenes—reporting of what people are doing to try to stop it. Tricia Shapiro lets the victims of mountaintop removal and their allies tell their own stories, allowing moments of quiet dignity and righteous indignation to share center stage. Includes coverage of the sharp escalation of anti-MTR civil disobedience, with more than 130 arrests in West Virginia alone during the first year of the Obama administration. Tricia Shapiro has been closely following and writing about efforts to end large-scale strip mining for coal in Appalachia since 2004. She now lives on a remote mountain homestead in western North Carolina, near the Tennessee border.

Will Jackson, once a panhandle cowboy, now a self-educated lawyer, finds himself called to be a circuit judge. His self-doubts and rigid self-control do not allow him to tolerate incompetence in those who appear in his court. The people he meets and works with provide an overview of the times. This story closes the trilogy, written not so much to portray the life of all who lived at the time, but rather to paint what might have been, upon the canvas of what was.

A Story of Hard Spirits and Defiant Souls Franklin County, Virginia has long been known as the Moonshine Capital of the World. That history can seem romantic, but the county has a dark and violent past. The descendants of the Scots-Irish who settled its rugged mountains openly defied the law and employed their own notions of justice to defend their traditions and livelihood. During Prohibition, the production of moonshine skyrocketed, but the liquor didn't stop flowing from the mountains when the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed. County and state officials struggled to maintain order in a region where unsolved murders, strange disappearances, and senseless killings were a way of life. The peak came in 1978, with nine murders linked to moonshine and drugs in the county. Historian and Virginia native Phillip Andrew Gibbs tells story of that horrific year and the history behind it.
