From the Preface: "It was planned that volume five of this series should carry an account of the period embracing the great migration from the state-- beginning at about the turn of the century-- as well as of the social and economic factor which lay behind it. However, there had already been published serially in the Proceedings of the Vermont Historical Society, an investigation into this problem which was subsequently acclaimed as one of the most valuable studies not only in the development of Vermont, but in the history of the American westward movement. Therefore, it seemed logical to include it as one of his series, with such revisions as might have been necessitated since its original issue. It is a tribute to the definitiveness of the research, however, that after eight years no revisions are necessary (except to note that the 'Song of he Vermonters,' previously attributed to the early pioneers [cf. p. 94], was actually written a half century later by John Greenleaf Whittier). However, several new maps have been added and old ones redrawn for a more adequate illustration of the text. It should be evident that in investigation of this sort, a map can frequently tell the story graphically and with greater clarity than several pages of text. The early portions of his volume overlap several of those which precede it, and certain of its material will be found in a different context in other volumes of the series. No effort has been made to eliminate this, for the organization is not strictly chronological, and many events and trends had implications beyond the scope of the problem with respect to which they are principally treated. Pagination is the same as in the Proceedings--to avoid indexing confusion--and begins with page 63.". Reprint of the 1948 edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No dust jacket.
