Dorset: In The Shadow Of The Marble Mountain

This quite readable history of a typical Vermont town stresses the untypical aspects of Dorset. Tyler Resch focuses on five topics that are of special distinction to Dorset: the four Dorset Conventions of 1775-1776; the political maneuvers that resulted in the Mt. Tabor Leg; Dorset's status as the site of the first marble quarry on the continent; the "summer people" phenomenon and a tradition of arts and artists.
