Read why this small Vermont town has produced more Olympic athletes per capita than any other town in the nation. The author interviews past Olympians who were raised in Norwich and the people who work, teach, and coach these kids.

This is a totally unique and fun little book. Presented as a faux-scrapbook filled with ephemera, Ominum Gatherum follows the adventures of a fictional family as they spend their leisure days in the Adirondacks. Photos, drawings, pressed plants, and more filled the pages in between journal entries, letters, and family-style recipes.

A beautiful tribute to some salt of the earth Vermonters. The light of our green mountains cannot be extinguished because they are lit with the stories of our elders. I was moved to tears. ~ Reviewed by Martha Cornwell
