Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Early days in Addison County, VT, are recalled through a mix of colorful tales, factual data and trivia, in this booklet comprised of excerpts from three rare vintage books: The Geography and History of Vermont by S.R. Hall (1871); History and Description of New England - Vermont by A.J. Coolidge and J.B. Mansfield (1860); and Vermont, a Guide to the Green Mountain State, written by the Workers of the Federal Writer's Project of the WPA (1937). The 55 page booklet has the print size enlarged as needed to fit the 8 1/2 x 11 size. A vinyl sheet has been added to protect the front cover. A major part of the booklet consists of histories of each township (town), which vary in size depending on the prominence of the town and its historical significance. The towns include Addison, Bridport, Bristol, Cornwall, Ferrisburgh, Goshen, Granville, Hancock, Leicester, Lincoln, Middlebury, Monkton, New Haven, Orwell, Panton, Ripton, Salisbury, Shoreham, Starksboro, Vergennes, Waltham, Weybridge and Whiting. Some villages have names different from the town name, such as: Ackworth, Borough, Barnumown, Monkton Ridge, East Monkton, New Haven Centre, New Haven East Mills, Brooksville, Lower Falls, and Upper Falls. The WPA excerpts include a section on Middlebury, including points of interest: the Middlebury College Campus, the Congregational Church, the Sheldon Art Museum, etc. The tour portions, while not up-to-date as a tour guide, remain a fascinating source of answers to history and trivia questions. What mountain was once called "Potato Hill?" What's the story behind Uncle Sim's Lost Gold? Where's the Morgan Horse Monument? Who was in exile for 12 years because he thought he'd killed a man? The booklet has a few illustrations, but their quality is only fair.
