A reflection, in chapters, on the lives of members of the author's
family, their friends and neighbours who lived in Orleans and
Caledonia counties between the end of the eighteenth and the middle
of the twentieth centuries. Hard-working, God-fearing, and often
clever, these were literate, respectable, and fairly well-off
folks. They were, also, all too human - and certainly not always
'nice' or admirable'. The history that spills out from this archive
- of documents, letters and postcards, diaries, photographs and
oral history - encompasses family tales, curses and scandals; the
working lives of farmers, store-keepers, merchants and railway men;
education, teenage life, and courtship; building homes and becoming
consumers; serving in the militia and in war; early tourism, and
local entertainments; with a discursion on Vermont family names
along the way. It is a fascinating story, generously illustrated
with reproductions of documents and photographs.
