| Publisher Description: On the surface, Barre appears to be like many other Vermont communities--its scenery picturesque and its people friendly and industrious. But other stories, unique to Barre, lie hidden. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, newspapers reported many local events that reveal in charming detail what life was like during their own time. Local author Russell Belding has meticulously combed antique newspapers to find them and reveals how observing their change over time affords a fascinating look into the evolution of this community. Though they have been forgotten by time or replaced with more well-known tales, these moments in history have helped shape Barre into the New England community it is today. |
