Lack of an index makes this much less useful
This is well-written and informative. However, it's very hard to use the book for research because it doesn't have an index; it doesn't even have "see also" cross-references in the articles!

This is well-written and informative. However, it's very hard to use the book for research because it doesn't have an index; it doesn't even have "see also" cross-references in the articles! There's no way to get at much of the information in the book. For instance--I know that there were skirmishes between Vermonters and Canadians in the 19th century because I read the article "Patriots, or les Patriotes." Then I'm stuck, because there's no cross-references to specific battles, individuals, or concepts in other articles. Another example: I'm researching a town called Shoreham, but the article "Shoreham" doesn't mention William J. Anderson, a black legislator from the town. There's no way to tell from "Shoreham" that there's an article "Anderson, William J." elsewhere in the book. This is too bad--the encyclopedia is otherwise really attractive.

This is a great book! It's an encyclopedia just like it says and it's a good one! I love opening it up and just flipping the pages to find something that intrigues me. If you love the history of Vermont than you'll love this book!
