Its mighty waters powered mills and hardworking farmers, inventors, and shopkeepers fueled the local economy. Local author Kerry K. Skiffington describes Bristols history through brief essays highlighting its most remarkable people and moments, from the rise of Outlook Club and the Bristol Town Band to the many floods and fires that have challenged but never broken the town. She also uncovers forgotten figures, like Dr. Francis Briggs, known as much for his music as for his ministrations, and state representative Florence Cragen, one of many Vermont women to serve the legislature during World War II. Carefully researched and enlivened by interviews with longtime residents, Bristol, Vermont: Historically Speaking captures the essence of the towns enduring charm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Haven, Vermont has been a crossroads for more than two centuries. The Rutland & Burlington Railroad's 1849 arrival signaled a new era, as lengthy steam-powered trains dotted the Addison County landscape. For another four decades, Bristol's 1,800 inhabitants observed with interest and envy as freight and passenger trains polished the R&B mainline, six miles away. The Bristol House was sending two stages a day, for the roundtrip to the R&B's New Haven train station. A third stagecoach owned by the competing Commercial House, stirred up the dust with its own daily run. The disadvantages of being an "off line" community were many. Mr. Jesse J. Ridley and Myron Wilson, founders of the Bristol Herald, were determined to put their village on the rail map. A feasibility discussion was held in the basement of Holley Hall, during February, 1890. Rutland native and entrepreneur Percival Clement's resources eventually transformed the Bristol Railroad from blueprint to three-dimensional reality. For 38 years, from 1892 to 1930, the six-mile Bristol Railroad was among the busiest lumber product haulers in the United States. Bristol Manufacturing Company was shipping boxcar loads of locally made caskets from their plant along the New Haven River, to the Bristol village train station and all points of the compass via the connecting Rutland Railroad at New Haven Junction. The rails also opened up vast travel opportunities for every occasion- from church-sponsored card games in New Haven to bright lights, big city entertainment. All aboard for a memorable journey where all the fun is getting there! Author and filmmaker James R. "Jim" Jones proudly presents this meticulously researched, 200-page chronicle on the life and times of rural Vermont from the 1850s to now.

Download or read book Lewis Creek Lost and Found written by Kevin T. Dann and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2001 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well known for his imaginative treatment of environmental issues, Kevin Dann presents a natural history of the Lewis Creek watershed in Vermont's Champlain Valley, told largely through the lives and thought of three individuals,whose investigations brought them into close contact with the area. Congregationalist minister John Perry (1825 - 1872) conducted paleontological research on the region's Paleozoic rock and attempted to negotiate his era's confrontation between science and religion. Rowland Robinson (1833 - 1900) was a Quaker farmer and author/artist whose historical fiction often dealt with issues of human impact on this watershed. The first plant-hunting expeditions of another Quaker farmer and noted plant collector, Cyrus Pringle (1838 - 1911), took place in this watershed as well. Dann's account of these three men, whose lives span nearly a century, graphically illustrates contemporary human-nature relationships at the same time that it suggests the limits of science in circumscribing our experience of the physical landscape. The experience of pain and loss is documented along with the stories of success and celebration, since, as Dann writes, "Genuine places, like human hearts, have dark recesses within them, and by examining these recesses within the Lewis Creek watershed, we take a small step toward demythologizing Vermont."
