Vermont Beautiful
$13.00
Wallace Nutting
NY: Bonanza Books 1972, reprint of 1922 edition
(from the end flaps) This magnificent text is the first in a series of
picture books by Wallace Nutting. VERMONT BEAUTIFUL set the pattern for
all those to follow, and though it was the first, it is still one of the
most beautiful.
Nutting, who wrote the text, as well as taking the photographs and
compiling the book, has made an effort to avoid the usual guidebook
format. Instead, he has relied on his own sense of beauty to aim his
camera. Nutting said, "no consideration of any sort except matters of
quaintness, beauty, or history has weighed with the author in selections
of pictures or the references in the text."
The book, divided into chapters such as "Old New England Homes,"
"Sunday in the Country," and "Wild Flowers in
Vermont," does indeed capture the true feeling of Vermont and
America. Though the last of the pictures were taken in 1922, many of the
photographs catch a glimpse of eras even before that. The interiors of
historic houses, children in a horse-drawn cart, a timeless country road
are all here, their charm as fresh as today.

Genealogical and Family
History of the State of Vermont (Volume 1 only) $49.95 (in print at
$75.00)
Compiled under the Editorial Supervision of the Honorable Hiram Carleton
Baltimore: Clearfield Publishing, 2000 reprint of the 1903 edition.
Hiram Carleton, a prominent Vermont judge and six-time president of the
Vermont Historical Society, was commissioned by the Lewis Publishing Company
to prepare this magisterial collection of illustrated
biographical/genealogical essays of noted Vermonters and their families.
Without gainsaying Mr. Carleton's prodigious undertaking, it is helpful to
point out that the arrangement and contents of the two volumes, originally
published in 1903, follows a pattern for which the Lewis Publishing Company
would become famous over the first quarter of this century. At the outset of
the first volume we are provided with an Introduction explaining Vermont's
unique place among the states and drawing attention to milestones in its
history. Then commence the sketches, most of which focus on a contemporary
of the compiler. In some cases, the essays offer a derivation or origin for
the surname of that essay. In all cases, the family history is traced
forward from the oldest known ancestor of the line to the family member
(living or memorialized) featured in the sketch, for whom, in turn, a
biography--often with photograph--is provided. This is followed, frequently,
by additional, collateral lines linked to the subject of the essay. Many of
the lineages go back to 16th-century England, still others brim with
connections to Massachusetts and the other New England states, yet on the
whole they constitute a totally unique assemblage of Vermont families.
Finally, while the work as a whole contains upwards of 30,000 references to
kith and kin, the name indexes found at the front of the two volumes
identify nearly 1,200 principal descendants of the following main families
treated: Index to Volume 1: Abernathy, Abernethy, Adams, Agan, Akeley,

Kevin Dann
Middlebury College Press, 2001
This is an uncorrected proof copy.
(from the back cover) “Well known for his imaginative treatment of
environmental issues, Kevin Dann presents a natural history of the Lewis
Creek watershed in Vermont's Champlain Valley, told largely through the
lives and thought of three individuals whose investigations brought them
into close contact with the area. Congregationalist minister John Perry
(1825—72) conducted paleontological research on the region's Paleozoic
rock and attempted to negotiate his era's confrontation between science
and religion. Rowland Robinson (1833—1900) was a Quaker farmer and
author/artist whose historical fiction often dealt with issues of human
impact on this watershed. The first plant-hunting expeditions of noted
plant collector Cyrus Pringle (1838—1911) also took place in this area.
Dann's account of these three men, whose lives span nearly a century,
graphically illustrates contemporary human-nature relationships at the
same time that it suggests the limits of science in circumscribing our
experience of the physical landscape.

(from the end flaps) FROM DEEP WITHIN THE GREEN MOUNTAINS THIRTEEN INCREDIBLE TALES OF
MYSTERY, CRIMINALITY, HARDSHIP AND HUMOR
For years gentleman burglar Clarence Adams terrorized his native Chester until a set gun
trapped him at Waterman's Mill. Residents could hardly believe it, but Adams's story
doesn't stop there. Did he, as many think, escape his cell and wintery grave?
At Manchester's jail back in 1819 Stephen Boorn finally confessed he killed Russell
Colvin. The hangman's noose was ready as Colvin suddenly reappeared. But was it really
Colvin who came back?
The public burning of a vampire's heart on Woodstock Green seems incredible now. But
prominent citizens were there that day some 150 years ago and attested to the gruesome
ceremony.
What irony for a famous British, counterfeiter. Yet it was in rural Groton, Vt. that
Bristol Bill's clever "bank" was broken. A knife in the state's attorney's back
didn't help Bill's cause.
Mysterious Spaniards finding (and then losing) great hoards of silver among the hills,
kept Vermonters hunting treasure for years. Some think it's still there.
War Hero William Barton's pioneering in northern Vermont led to his jailing for debt at
Danville. Stubbornly he refused to settle and the Marquis de Lafayette bailed him out
fourteen years later.
To die in poverty in the third generation was old Mercie Dale's dying curse on the
high-stepping Hayden family of Albany, Vermont. The handsome Mansion still stands but the
last of the Haydens perished in 1927.
Vermonters still shiver thinking about Eighteen-Hundred-and-FROZE-to-Death, the year with
no summer, when it snowed and froze every month, crops failed and famine drove folks
Westward.
How did a shipwrecked British mariner ever come to northern Vermont in 1564, there to
perish in the wilderness? Was the pitiful message found many years later in a lead tube,
just a hoax?
You wear five sets of overalls, one over the other. You devote your life to outlawing
autos. You never touch anything that a woman had. Not favoring leather, you walk barefoot
to Washington, and back. You are just an eccentric Vermonter showing your individualism.
In the remote Vermont hills old folk who could no longer earn their keep were dragged and
frozen for the Winter. In the Spring they were thawed out (feeling mightily refreshed).
Was it really true?
Prohibition of demon rum caused some odd happenings in Vermont, none more bizarre than the
79-year jail sentence and heavy fine meted out to honest John O'Neil. His tremendous
punishment was affirmed, and Vermonters were sustained in sobriety.
Widow Hannah Ward stood stark naked when she was married in Newfane in 1789. It was for
good legal reasons, and Mrs. Ward managed to retain her modesty as well as her
inheritance.

Out from Depot Square: Central Vermont (Barrie,

Memories from the 1930s to the 1950s
Thomas C. Davis
Barre Vermont The author, 2001
(from the inside front cover) “Out From Depot Square," takes the reader
back to
mid-century Vermont. Author Tom Davis writes about the people and events
that shaped his small Barre, Vermont community in the 1930s and 1940s.
He recreates the time when people gathered on the corner of Depot Square
to fiercely debate the politics of the day. He recalls the first radio
news report of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He helps us relive the
aftermath of the war, and the excitement Barre's returning veterans
brought to the city.
Davis remembers: a presidential motorcade through Barre, skiing at
Meadowbrook, Industrial League baseball, the magic of movies before
television, Main Street on Saturday night, his neighborhood, the
political struggle to build the Barre Auditorium, pond dances, and
dancing under the crystal ball at the Auditorium. He concludes with
"Return to Wildersburg," a short story about his hometown.
Davis breathes life into memories of that special time.

David Chase
Brattleboro: Elm Corners Press, 1987
Funny stories from Brattleboro Vermont .
(from the introduction) "For the benefit of anyone who doesn't already
know, the stuff that follows originally appeared in my weekly column in the
Brattleboro Reformer, first during about 15 months in 1976 and 1977 and then
from January of 1982. Most of it speaks for itself, but there are a few
pieces that had some introductory material when they were originally
published. I've taken that out and scattered the remains throughout the book
The essay-type columns are listed in the Table of Contents. The rest has
been stuck in wherever it fits.
There is Dear David, for instance. For some reason, a lot of people are
under the impression that people who write know everything and readers are
free to write for advice. A large part of journalism's public trust requires
that we answer such questions as time permits. I'm fortunate in that I have
been allowed to answer my mail in my column from time to time. It's no big
deal. It's the least I can do. It's the least any of us can do. After all,
it's part of the public trust.
There are community learning opportunities sprinkled through the book. Some
people, not anyone who lives around here, certainly, but some people,
believe there is nothing going on in small towns after dark. This is
nonsense. Small communities often arrange classes in subjects of interest to
any number of people. This is a wonderful thing. People in the community
with special knowledge or skills agree to share what they know with others
who believe that classes will teach them everything.
Yes, poetry lovers, I have included some poems. Pity, really.
Contrary to Brattleboro's small town image, there are, in fact, routine and
continuous business promotions (Promotions in the News), a lively and full
schedule of cultural events (The Entertainment Page), and a thriving and
innovative artistic community (Local Artists).
And finally, there are some quotes. I've always thought it was a shame that
only famous people get quoted in print. These quotes are all from real, and,
until now, relatively unfamous people.
So much for the Introduction. If you didn't like the columns, you're really
gonna hate the book."

Thetford
A Short History of Thetford Vermont 1761-1870 $13.75
Charles Latham Jr.
Thetford Historical Society, 1972, fourth printing 1999
(from the forward) This short account of Thetford's early history is no
more than a start on the full history that remains to be written. It is
the product of part of a sabbatical year, and is based mainly on records
available locally, though its attempts to view the town in context with
developments in the state and nation. Those who had the knowledge to write
a better history have passed on without doing so-Rev. William Slade, Mary
B. Slade, and Richard Fowle. The principal virtue of this booklet is that
it is written; perhaps by its inadequacies it may cause to amplify and
correct it....
Table of contents: Early Settlement 1761 -- 1776, Revolution in
Independence 1771-1790, the Town That Its Height 1790-1830, 1830 -- 1870,
1870 on, Town Officers 1770 -- 1877.
54 pages, pamphlet, good condition. corners bumped, some light
staining on covers.
Wheelock VT
Town of Wheelock: Vermont's Gift to Dartmouth
College $65.00
Eleanor Jones Hutchinson,
Rochester, VT: Emerson Publishing, 1961 First.
from the Preface: “Fifty years ago material for a history of the
Town of Wheelock was collected by three native sons, Ferdinand W. Chase,
William H. Taylor and Ozias D. Mathewson. This common interest animated
the greater part of their lives. It was their intent to publish their
collections in book form but the death of each in the succeeding years
prevented this wish from being carried out.
After the death of Mr. Mathewson, his historical material on Wheelock was
presented to the Vermont Historical Society, Montpelier, Vt. by his wife.
This material forms the core of this book and accounts for the frequent
quotations from ODM, FWC and Judge Taylor.
The Mathewson Papers contain an interesting variety of early town records,
ledgers, diaries, store receipts, receipts from Dartmouth College,
anecdotes, and some genealogical data relative to Wheelock, from which I
have drawn what seems essential for a brief history of the town. I have
relied on the authenticity of this material, as being much nearer the
people and sources than anything I could get at this later time. The
occasional repetitions, although not desirable, are more or less
inevitable when the same few men took part in all town affairs in the
early days. Any mistakes as to dates, names and places may be corrected by
readers with a more intimate knowledge than mine.”
