Liss, David. (2008). The whiskey rebels. New York: Random House.
" ... a ripping yarn of intrigue, money, politics, real-life heroes and villains, and even a love story ..."
Kirkus: Uneven, sometimes risibly overstuffed narrative that's nevertheless compulsively readable.
Hogeland, William.(2006). The Whiskey Rebellion : George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and the frontier rebels who challenged America's newfound sovereignty. New York: Scribner.
Kirkus: Contrarian account of a contrarian struggle, in some senses America's first civil war. A vigorous, revealing look at a forgotten—and confusing—chapter in American history, one that invites critical reconsideration of a founding father or two.
