Civil War buffs make regular pilgrimages to the

myriad Southern battlefields of the American
Civil War to get a sense of what was at stake and
what exactly happened during conflicts. Yet one
of the best places to see the America of the Civil
War era today is about 500 miles north of the war
zonein Vermont. This preservation-minded
state, where just one minor Civil War battle took
place, looks more as it did in the 1860s than any
other state involved in the conflict.
Now, in this new work, years in the making,
historian Howard Coffin takes the reader through
every town in the Green Mountain State to
document more than 3,000 sites that were in
some way touched by the Civil War and are
extant today. Not a theme-park guide to quaintly
preserved structures, the sites identified here are
homes where soldiers lived and died, hospitals
where they were treated, and halls where abolitionists spoke passionately.
A seventh-generation Vermonter with six
ancestors who served in VT regiments, Howard
Coffin lectures extensively on the Civil War. He is
also the author of Full Duty: Vermont in the Civil
War; Nine Months to Gettysburg; and The Battered
Stars (all Countryman titles). A former press
secretary to U.S. senator James Jeffords, Coffin and
his wife, Sue, live in Montpelier, VT.

mall, independent farms are

the lifeblood of Vermonts
agriculture, from the sweet
corn grower to the dairy goat
farmer to the cheesemaker whose
locally sourced goat milk chevre
becomes the heart of a new dish
by a chef in Montpelier. While this
farm-to-table cycle may be a phenomenon just hitting its stride in
the United States, it has long been a
way of life in Vermont, part of the
ethos that Vermonters use to define
themselves. As such, Vermont exemplifies a standard of small-scale,
community-minded, unadulterated agriculture that has become a
national model.
When Tracey Medeiros wrote
Dishing Up Vermont in 2008, she
wanted to showcase the chefs and
restaurateurs who were dazzling
taste buds with their fresh, wholefood creations. With The Vermont
Farm Table Cookbook, Medeiros has
traversed the Green Mountain State
once again, in search of not only those celebrated
chefs but the hard-working farmers who provide
them with their fresh and wholesome ingredients as well. Collecting their stories and some 125
of their delicious, rustic-yet-refined, Vermontinspired recipes, Medeiros presents an irresistible
gastronomic portrait of this singular state.

An Eden of Sorts
The Natural History of My Feral Garden
John Hanson Mitchell
The story of how land can blossomliterallywith proper management
Twenty-five years ago John Hanson Mitchell cut
down a 1-acre stand of seventy-five-year-old
white pines and planted a garden in their place.
An Eden of Sorts is a history of the plants and
animals that lived on the tract over the next
decades, including two generations of half-wild
children!
In a survey he made before taking down the
pines, Mitchell counted no more than five or
six flowering plants and shrubs. Over the years
he created a series of fanciful garden rooms
in the Italian style. Now, in addition to a florid
and intriguing garden of earthly delights, he has
recorded more than one thousand species of
plants and animals on the property.
This is a paradoxical yet hopeful narrative
of what can happen to a plot of land when it is
properly managed.

Thoreau was drawn to these high places
because they are the natural world amplified, the
world thrust upward. Not to go there was unthinkable. We must go out and re-ally ourselves
to Nature every day, he wrote in 1856. I am sensible that I am imbibing health when I open my
mouth to the wind . . . Alone in distant woods or
fields, I come to myself, I once more feel myself
grandly related, and that cold and solitude are
friends of mine.
