June 23, 1870 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information about the book "Vermont at Gettysburg," by G.G. Benedict. Besides mountains, the chief productions of the State of Vermont are men, women, maple-sugar, and horses. Singing the praise of these, the poet briefly says of the men that they are strong. In the late war they certainly made this title good on many fields, and when the battle was not to the strong the Vermonters were seldom to blame for defeat. The book is a short and rather dry recital of brave deeds, in the main hardly more interesting than an official report. But the author puts in Vermont's claim to the chief credit of repulsing the advance of the enemy on the second and third days at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
