Riassunto

Warm, wonderfully entertaining accounts by a general store proprietor, a basket weaver, a gravedigger, a town "gadfly," and 34 others reveal how time-honored traditions are carried on in spite of the inroads of the 20th century. As colorful as the state's autumn hues, and, in the matter of opinions, as obdurate as mountain granite, these recollections are accompanied by candid portraits. First published in 1986, Vermonters is sure to delight a new generation of collectors of Americana and any others who have succumbed to Vermont's rather flinty charm.
