A book about Vermont's history will likely bring to mind such
topics as Abenaki Indians, the Green Mountain Boys and the state's
famed covered bridges, but "Forgotten Tales of Vermont" takes
readers far beyond traditional histories to uncover littleknown
stories from Vermont's quirky past. Who knew that students from
Castleton Medical School moonlighted as grave robbers until they
were caught hiding Mrs. Churchill's head in a haystack? Or that an
Egyptian mummy once turned up in Middlebury and is now buried at
the local cemetery alongside the town's founders? Stories such as
the Willoughby Lake monster and Slipperyskin, the bear that
terrorized Lemington, are sure to bemuse, baffle and surprise even
Vermonters who think they've heard it all. Culled from newspapers,
books and journals, William M. Alexander's fascinating tales will
entertain and inform readers for generations to come!
