Construction crews were ripping and blasting through Vermont's virgin forests, building Interstate 91, the road that would drag Vermont into the present. It was a violent time for Rick Wallace, working as a grunt laborer, chucking steel for drillers, and hauling dynamite to blast the ledges on the 2.14- mile segment of Interstate 91, that non-union B.V. DeBoni \u0026amp; Sons, had snatched out from under the noses of the big unionized contractors. The union, determined to make the Interstate a closed shop, wooed DeBoni's crew of moonlighting, hardscrabble farmers, while hot-tempered Charlie DeBoni vowed he'd go union \"over my dead body.\" But it was union organizer, Big Jim Jenson, who died in a fiery explosion, and Whitey, DeBoni's head mechanic, and only black employee, was the prime suspect because he and Jenson had gone toe-to-toe over union bigotry. Sleepy Bellows Falls was suddenly engulfed in racist terror, and Rick Wallace, and his guitar-playing buddy, Jack North, took on the local bigots to help their friend, Whitey. But who killed Jim Jenson? Forty years later, Rick still needed to know the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68058747175200,"sku":"USED0595256538","price":23.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51iKuCjB0NL_6dc9ac1c-6b5b-44cf-b721-6f39c7f1e1b5.jpg?v=1793327039","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/214-miles-of-interstate-91-0595256538-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
