About this title

From the Back Cover:

True Tales from the Green Mountain State's Past
From the unlucky French soldiers who barely survived a Vermont winter in the 1660s, to the men from Maple Corner who gained fame by taking it all off for a good cause in 2001, It Happened in Vermont tells the stories of intriguing people and events from the history of the state known for its pugnacious Green Mountain Boys and its modern-day, less ornery but no less proud, residents. Learn how a Vermont congressman fought for his right to criticize the president. Read about the cross-border Confederate attack on the people of St. Albans. Reflect upon those wise Vermonters who spurned out-of-state “expert” advice to run a major highway through the Green Mountains.
