Mark Bushnell

Hidden History of Vermont (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Mark Bushnell worked for a dozen years as an editor for Vermont newspapers. Realizing that writers have more fun than editors, he began freelancing. Since 2002, he has written regularly about Vermont history, first for the Rutland Herald and Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, and more recently a weekly column for VTDigger, a statewide news website. He is the author of Discover Vermont! The Vermont Life Guide to Exploring Our Rural Landscape and It Happened in Vermont: From the French and Indian War to the exposure of Maple Corner, thirty-two events that shaped the Green Mountain State. He has also contributed chapters to Howard Dean: A Citizen's Guide to the Man who Would Be President, and Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History. He lives in central Vermont with his wife, Susan Clark, and son, Harrison.
