From a poignant diary entry in 1900 to a full color photograph shot in August of 1999, A Vermont Century takes a refreshingly candid look at the Green Mountain State's passage through the past 100 years. This beautifully designed book features more than 200 evocative photographs culled from the archives of newspapers, historical societies, and private citizens. The photos are complemented by essays whose subjects range from chronicles of the events and people that shaped the state's evolution to more personal reminiscences. Celebrities and major news stories share these pages with ordinary people and their perhaps less dramatic, but no less influential, lives. This is a book that will appeal to Vermont visitors and residents alike.
