Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vermont, the Green Mountain State, Vol. 1: Past, Present, Prospective This little book aims to tell in a simple and unpretentious manner the most important of practical everyday things that people unacquainted with Vermont would naturally like to know about the state and its inhabitants - what they have done, what they are doing, and what they can do to entitle them to an honorable place in the mighty family of progressive commonwealths that in this great Exposition is auspiciously commemorating a momentous event in its origin. There is much more to the same end that might be written: details of glorious achievement in war; of signal accomplishment in the evolution of free government, of landmarks set and passed in the development of social culture; and of steady growth in substantial material prosperity that has been born of the sturdy character, keen intelligence, and steadfast industry of a patriotic, high-minded, home-loving people. But this book has been prepared to serve the immediate purpose of the busy man of affairs and not to gratify the quest of the student. It will be found to avoid statistics and comparisons and simply to indicate present day conditions in a more or less easily readable generalization. And thus devoted to the mere hasty suggestion of a wealth of social advantages and business opportunities beyond the power of the printed page adequately to convey to the inquiring mind, It must be supplemented by the hearty invitation of the whole people of Vermont to all their kinsmen and fellow citizens in the land to come to the old Green Mountain state, partake of the hospitality it will be their delight to extend, and see for themselves that all that is told here, and more than volumes else can tell, is true.
