The Vermont Encyclopedia
Duffy, Hand, & Orth, eds.

The definitive sourcebook for Vermont facts, figures, people, events, and history.

The Vermont Encyclopedia’s thousand-plus entries, the work of 140 contributors, present a comprehensive collection of information on the Green Mountain State. Drawn from the most recent research available, its subjects range from prehistoric settlement to events in today’s headlines. Entries include famous and infamous Vermonters, as well as features of the physical landscape; political, economic, and social history. Introduced by four topical essays, followed by individual entries, arranged alphabetically. Supplemented by charts, maps, and photographs, The Vermont Encyclopedia will serve as the quintessential guide to the Green Mountain state for years to come.
