Counterfeiting and forgery were among the first organized crimes in America. Throughout Vermont's history, these crimes were perpetrated by a variety of colorful, talented, and foolish individuals. Despite harsh penalties, men like Christian Meadows, Bristol Bill, and Francis Fox gambled on the possibilities.
Vermont State Archives and Records Administration Archivist Mariessa Dobrick researched legislative records, court records, correspondence, investigation files, and prison records to tell the stories of these artistic criminals and their crimes.
