148 pages, pictorial wrappers, very good. 2nd printing. James Bernard Longley (1924-1980), insurance man from Lewiston became Governor of Maine from 1975-79. He was the first popularly elected independent governor in the history of the United States. From the back, 'Jim Longley shocked everyone when he singlehandedly upset the two political parties to become not only governor of Maine but what political writers began callig a protoype for post-Watergate politicians. Willis Johnson shocks everyone all over again with his funny, sad, analytical, entertaining, tender, bruising story of one of today's most fascinating political characters.'
