    Ill Class ^:_49_ Book XlX_ Copyright]^!' COPyRlGHT DEPOSIT Thomas Chittenden The first governor of Vermont HISTORY OF VERMONT BY EDWARD DAY COLLINS, Ph.D. Formerly Instructor in History in Yale University WITH GEOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL NOTES, BIBLIOGRAPHY, CHRONOLOGY, MAPS, AND ILLUSTRATIONS BOSTON, U.S.A. GINN &L COMPANY, PUBLISHERS d)e ^tl)ensettm pregg * 1903 THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, Two CoPtcS Received OCT :9 1903 ICLAS8 A-XXc No, UC{ t ^ ^ COPY B. Copyright, 1903, by EDWARD DAY COLLINS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE The charm of romance surrounds the discovery, explo- ration, and settlement of Vermont. The early records of the state offer an exceptional field for the study of social groups placed in altogether primitive and almost isolated conditions ; while in political organization this commonwealth illustrates the development of a truly organic unity. The state was for fourteen years an independent republic, prosperous and well administered. This book is an attempt to portray the conditions of life in this state since its discovery by white men, and to indicate what the essential features of its social, eco- nomic, and political development have been. It is an attempt, furthermore, to do this in such a way as to furnish those who are placed under legal requirement to give instruction in the history of the state an oppor- tunity to comply with the spirit as well as with the letter of the law. Instruction in state history rests on a perfectly sound pedagogical and historical basis. It only demands that the same facilities be afforded in the way of texts, biblio- graphical aids, and statistical data, as are demanded in any other field of historical work, and that the most approved methods of study and teaching be followed.

  • Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY FOR THE YEARS 1921, 1922 AND 1923 CAPI TAL C ITY PRESS MONTPE LIER, VT. 192 4 Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History Prior to the Establishment of the Vermont Constitution A PAPER READ BEFORE THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT WINDSOR IN THE OLD CONSTITUTION HOUSE SEPTEMBER 4, 1822 By Henry Steele Wardner Windsor's Importance in Vermont's History To be invited to address you in this, my native town and still my home, and in this, the most notable of Vermont's historic buildings, gives me real pleasure. That pleasure is the greater because of my belief that through the neglect of some of Vermont's historians as well as through the enter­ prise of others who, like myself, have had their own towns or group of individuals to serve and honor, the place of Windsor in Vermont's written history is not what the town deserves and because your invitation gives me an opportunity to show some forgotten parts of Windsor's claim to historic impor­ tance. Today I shall not describe the three celebrated conven­ tions held in this town in 1777, the first of which gave to the State its name, while the second and third created the State and gave to it its corporate existence and its first constitution; nor shall I touch upon the first session of Vermont's legislature held here in 1778, although upon these several events mainly hangs Windsor's fame as far as printed history is concerned. Nor shall I dwell upon Windsor as the first town of Vermont in culture and social life through the last decade of the eigh­ teenth century and the first quarter of the nineteenth, nor yet upon the extraordinary influence which the early artisans and inventors of this town have had upon industries in various parts of the world.

  • Preliminary Bedrock Geologic Map of the Chittenden Quadrangle Rutland County, Vermont
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Preliminary Bedrock Geologic Map of the Chittenden Quadrangle Rutland County, Vermont By Nicholas M. Ratcliffe U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 97-703 1997 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards nor with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. INTRODUCTION The bedrock of the Chittenden quadrangle consists of Middle Proterozoic through Cambrian metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks that lie along the western flank of the Green Mountain massif in south-central Vermont. The Green Mountain massif is cored by highly deformed and extensively retrograded schists and schistose gneisses derived from once high-grade gneisses that were intruded and originally metamorphosed during the Grenville orogeny prior to about 950 Ma. Upper Proterozoic through Cambrian metaclastic rocks, referred to as the western cover sequence, form a cover sequence that was deposited unconformably on the older schists and gneisses. The upper part of the cover sequence consists of marine-shelf carbonate rocks of the Vermont Valley sequence that developed on the stable Atlantic-type continental margin prior to the deformation in the Taconian orogeny during the Middle to Upper Ordovician. In the Taconian orogeny, rocks of this area were thrust faulted and metamorphosed to biotite grade. The basement rocks were altered by low-grade remetamorphism and hydration to such an extent that the Grenvillian mineral assemblages, schistosity, and gneissosity are presently barely recognizable.
