Sparkling Oral Histories of Old Time Vermonters, October 3, 2004
This review is from: Vermonters: Oral Histories from Down Country to the Northeast Kingdom (Paperback)
Strickland captures the very marrow of these early New Englanders, who epitomize the American characteristics of ingenuity, self reliance, and "luck, pluck, & drive" that build today's strong nation. These earthy oral histories reveal the drives of men and women who were responsible for propelling America forward. Like Huck Finn, these characters are genuine. The book fills the reader with pride in America and it inspires new energy---to finish our work well done.
It's an inspiring book to enjoy for one self or to buy for a friend. VERMONTERS is universally appealing to Americans living in any state. I highly recommend this wholesome and cheerful book about the undaunted American spirit.
