Excerpt from Curiosities in American History: The Green Mountain Boys; Or Vermont and the New York Land Jobbers In the history of a country whose growth has been under circumstances like our own, every 10 cality abounds in unrecorded deeds of moral hero ism as worthy of notice as are many facts and events which have become fixed in the historic literature current among the masses. Even were such deeds to find a place in local history, they will necessarily be circumscribed in their influ ence, and at best be so hidden among common place matter as almost to escape notice; while to attempt giving them the attention they deserve in a general history would be futile.

Vermont may be small in population, but it looms large with innovation. The state constitution was the first in America to ban slavery, provide for universal male suffrage and establish a system for publicly funded education. Ethan Allen captured Fort Ticonderoga for America's First Victory. An eleven-year-old Willie Johnston was America's youngest Medal of Honor winner, and Grace Coolidge became the one and only First Lady to have a raccoon as a pet while in the White House. In the 1930s, rebellious Vermonters were the first to vote down a major New Deal construction project, the Green Mountain Parkway. Join local historian Dick Smith as he reveals this state's pioneering nature.
