John Dennison

Jonathan "John" Dennison was a Wyoming carpenter who'd been convicted of "wrecking" in the 1930s after getting drunk and "telling off" President Joe Steele. He was pretty sure the person who turned him in was someone who'd wanted to buy the building Dennison owned. He was arrested by the GBI, convicted, and sent to a labor camp outside Linvigston, Montana. He'd been there for some time when New York reporter Mike Sullivan arrived. Dennison showed Sullivan the ropes of surviving the camp.
