This review is from: The Story of Vermont: A Natural and Cultural History (Middlebury Bicentennial Series in Environmental Studies) (Paperback)
This is a straight ahead view of all the changes Vermont has gone through from long before mankind walked this planet through our native forbearers and the early European invaders to the present. Lots of facts, no specific axe to grind, just details on our forest, on agriculture, on industry, on our attitudes, drawn together in a way that gives you deep insight into how Vermont and Vermonters have adapted to many many changes. I highly recommend it.

Wonderfully Educational,
By Dr. Terry W. Dorsett "Author of Developing Le... (Barre, Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of Vermont: A Natural and Cultural History (Middlebury Bicentennial Series in Environmental Studies) (Paperback)
Vermont is full of history. Though most of her historical sites are not commercialized like other states, the dedicated historian can find the sites and read simple plaques that have been erected by either the state or the local historical society.
This book can fill in the gaps to all the details that won't fit on the plaques. It also includes many historical details that have been forgotten, often even by the people living right on the land in which the events happened. Easy to read. If you are a Vermonter, you'll want to read this book.
