About
Discover the lively and lesser-known history of the Green Mountain State-illustrations included. Vermont's history is marked by fierce independence, generosity of spirit-and plenty of quirky characters and colorful events that have occurred among its steep slopes and fertile valleys. In this lively book, you can: • Meet the widow who outwitted Tories and may have spied for the Green Mountain Boys • Encounter the family who gained a national following by summoning spirits • Discover why one governor opposed women's suffrage and how that may have involved spirits of another sort • Visit an island retreat where Harpo Marx cheated at croquet and satirist Dorothy Parker wore nothing but a garden hat. Historian Mark Bushnell offers a glimpse of the Green Mountain State rarely seen-along with photos and illustrations.
