This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ...-went and looked Train (Pine) Hill rocks all over, in every crevice; they scrutinized it well but found no money; but it took years for it to die out; there were men from Middletown engaged in it; they had quite a number of rodsmen engaged in the business. Nancy F. Glass." Where the old lady, speaking of Mr-. Harmon, the same was corroborated by Joseph Parks, as to Mr. Cowdry being connected with the rodsmen, as stated by Judge Frisbie, we had it verified by Joseph Parks and Mrs. Charles Garner of Middletown; that part of the letter speaking of Mr. Fry, we have heard the same told by the widow of John Francis, who was, at the time, Mr. Fry's nearest neighbor.

In a short time Ann Bishop returned. The greater portion of the rodsmen were from Middletown, with one Woods as a leader. It would interest any one to read the history of Middletown; we think the ideas of the Judge would be coincided by every impartial reader.

Experience Civil War historic sites and small towns that can be found nowhere else in America Today, throughout Vermont, it is possible to identify hundreds and hundreds of Civil War–related sites. Throughout Vermont are soldier homes, halls where war meetings encouraged enlistments, churches where soldier funerals were held and abolitionists spoke, monuments to those who served, hospital sites, and homes where women gathered to make items for the soldiers. The Vermont State House is a virtual Civil War museum. A building survives in Woodstock where the war was administered. Cemeteries hold the gravestones of many of the 34,000 who fought. A field even exists where in 1803 a Quaker preacher heard a voice from above fortell a bloody war over slavery. With the help of this book, Civil War sites can be located as in no other state, taking the reader through the beautiful Vermont landscape of hill farms and small towns that looks more like the Civil War era than that of any other state.
