The time span is, roughly from 1860 to 1927." 1974, oversize hardcover edition, Stephen Greene Press, VT. 145 pages. Marvelous trip into the past, covering the years between 1860 and 1927 in Vermont. This title was a 4-year-long project of the Vermont Historical Society and other entities. The black and white photos are wonderful, with informed captions.
