Hidden History of Vermont, byMark Bushnell. Paperback. 174pages. Published by The HistoryPress. $21.99.
Reviewed by Tena Starr
Most longtime Vermontersknow the state is a far stranger,and more complicated, place thanits marketers acknowledge. Yes,Vermont is the land of maple syrupand colored fall leaves, andHolsteins grazing on hillsides.
But not everything aboutVermont is picturesque, orwholesome. It’s also populated bysome seriously independent-mindedpeople, a lot of quirkiness, sheercussedness, and both people andevents that are downright bizarre.
Longtime Vermont journalistMark Bushnell, who turned hishand to writing columns and booksin recent years, has captured someof that in this little history book,which he calls a travel book.
In Hidden History of Vermont,he tackles some of Vermont’s odderand more radical historicalmoments. The book is made up ofshort nonfiction pieces that rangefrom the fate of wolves in the stateto the evolution, and contrariness,of state politics.
“For a very small, rural state,Vermont has a lot of history, muchof it off the beaten path, some of itinordinately strange,” Vermont Lifeeditor emeritus Tom Slayton writesin the introduction to the book.
He’s right about that.“The state has a heroic origin
story that began before theAmerican Revolution and aremarkable record of social causesadopted, advanced and forwardedto the rest of the United States,”Mr. Slayton continues. “The scopeof Vermont’s history and theimportance of its influence are farout of proportion to its size.
“But also running through ourpast is a strain of oddities, unusualpeople and good, old-fashionedweirdness that Vermonters havelong savored and to some degreeenjoyed.
“Sometimes the heroic and thestrange are combined in a singlelegend,” Mr. Slayton writes. “Forexample, consider the story ofAlexander Twilight, believed to bethe first black college graduate inthe United States. In 1829, hecame to Brownington and, asprincipal of the Orleans CountyGrammar School, started anacademy — a residential school foryoung people. He built a largegranite building three stories highto house the school and itsstudents. And how did he erectthis imposing structure made ofhefty granite blocks? The story is
that he used an ox to raise andposition the blocks, and when thebuilding was complete and the ox’swork done, the builders celebratedby roasting and eating thehardworking animal!”
We’re sure that eating a farmanimal, no matter how hard itworked, was not considered odd inthe 1800s, or even today. But we’renot arguing the main point — thatVermont’s history, even recenthistory — often illustrates a streakof pragmatism but can also becolorful. Or that the state has hadits attractions, for wildly divergentpeople for wildly divergent reasons.
Mr. Bushnell’s collection is justas eclectic as Vermont itself.
One of the more bizarre storiesin this book is about the eight-acreNeshobe Island in the middle ofLake Bomeseen in Castleton. Thatchapter opens with the image of amud-smeared, but otherwise naked,Harpo Marx (yes, the comedicactor) wearing a red wig andcarrying an ax, screaming attourists who had hoped to picnic onthe island. The tourists, confrontedby a nude lunatic, quickly alteredtheir plans.
“The island was discovered, asfar as the celebrities wereconcerned, by Alexander Woollcott,”Mr. Bushnell writes. “Littleremembered today, Woollcott wasperhaps the most influentialliterary critic of his day, and heknew seemingly everybody, frompoliticians to movie stars.”
Mr. Woollcott acquired halfownership of the island and invitednumerous celebrities there. Theyformed the Neshobe Island Cluband included actors and actresseslike Laurence Olivier, Helen Hayes,Vivien Leigh of Gone With theWind fame, writers Ring Lardner,Dorothy Parker, Noel Coward, andThornton Wilder. Even WaltDisney was part of the circle.
They often spent their daysnude, played fierce battles ofcroquet and another game theycalled “Murder.” Mr. Bushnellspeculates that there were fewpeople living around LakeBomoseen who didn’t keep a pair ofbinoculars they could train on theisland.
Hidden History would lead itsreaders to believe that ruralVermont was once more prosperousthan it has been in more recenthistory, some of that due to hardwork, some owed to cleverness, anda share that must be attributed toopportunism.
For instance, there was theobituary for Golden Drop. Anunusual name, perhaps, for mostsubjects of obituaries. But GoldenDrop was a sheep, and generallynewspapers don’t publish obits for
sheep. Golden Drop, however, wasan exception, the granddaddy ofthe merinos that made so manyVermont farmers so well off, atleast for a time.
The chapter briefly outlines thelife of Vermont’s sheep economy,which involves far moreinternational politics and intriguethan one would suspect.
And then there are the watercures. Harriett Beecher Stowe,author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, wasone of the devotees of a Vermontwater treatment facility. That,apparently, involved being wrappedin wet blankets, dunked in coldwater, eating a tiresome diet, andgetting a lot of exercise. Peoplewho had the money were willing tospend it since hydrotherapy (whichalso included drinking 20 to 30glass of water a day) apparentlycould cure everything fromdepression to cancer.
The town of Wheelock tookadvantage of the craze for a time.It had a sulfur spring that stunk,
as all sulfur water does. Mostpeople in Wheelock simply ignoredit, Mr. Bushnell writes.
“But a businessman fromBoston named Royal Winter tookone whiff and smelled money.Winter bought the Brick Hotel intown and renamed it the CaledoniaMineral Springs Hotel. Herenovated the place and pipedspring water into the rooms.”
Unfortunately for Mr. Winter,the water lost its sulfur taste, anddreadful smell, a bad thing forbusiness. “Guests liked their waterfetid; the smellier the water, thestronger its curative power, theybelieved.”
Mr. Bushnell started his longcareer as a reporter, then an editorat Vermont newspapers. Heeventually moved onto writing acolumn called “Life in the PastLane,” as well as this, the second oftwo books. He says any editorknows that writers have more fun,so he’s returned to his first love.

Empty Nest BoomAdults born between 1946 and 1964 are
re-defining the way that people think of retirementthese days. Gone are the days when peoplereached 65 and stopped being active. Today’spopulation is working past 65 and enjoying moreactive, more leisure filled time.
Instead of the cliché of retiring to the frontporch or the easy chair, they’re using theopportunity of becoming empty nesters to lookinto a variety of opportunities, including buying adifferent type of house, one that’s on a golfcourse, or luxury condominiums, even lofts withhome gyms. Now that the kids are grown and offto college or out of college and on their own,they’re marketing their homes and looking forsomething that will reflect their new, different lifestyle and finding it in many places.
With more than 78 million baby boomers livingin the United States, there’s a large percentage ofthem looking forward to changing or maintainingtheir active lifestyle during the next phase of theirlives. If you’re planning to sell your home in thenear future, definitely take this lively group ofpotential buyers into consideration.

He’s a fine writer, one whodemonstrates a sense of humor aswell as a good and empathetic graspof Vermont’s past.
Some of the pieces in HiddenHistory are, indeed, not commonlyknown. Others are less “hidden,”though no less telling, about whatVermont is and has been. Forinstance, he writes about dairyfarming, a venture that remainscrucial to Vermont’s economy, eventhough in a form that bares littleresemblance to the dairy industry ofeven 50 years ago.
In 1953, Vermont had nearly11,000 dairy farms, the backbone of
the state’s rural economy, Mr.Bushnell writes. Today, it has lessthan 1,000.
He attributes that decline to therequirement that farmers have bulktanks. Maybe. This writerconsiders that an oversimplification,but the bulk tank mandate wascertainly a factor, and likely a bigone — for some farmers, aninsurmountable one.
None of the book is terribly in-depth, and not meant to be.Nonetheless, it’s interesting. It’sentertaining, it’s informative, and itdishes up some surprises as well aspractical, historical information.
Less hidden stories areno less revealing(Continued from page 1B.)

There is an old joke abouttourists visiting an English estateand marveling at the beauty of itslawns. One asks a nearby gardenerhow he keeps the grass in suchperfect condition.“Well, ma’am,” he replies, “you
first start 600 hundred years ago.”This recipe is a little like that.
If you get this paper on December 6,2017, you might have just enoughtime to prepare a pudding for a NewYear’s celebration.You could then pop the
remaining puddings into the freezerfor Christmas 2018. As it happensthere is a just such a pudding in myfreezer waiting for winter to arriveso it can thaw out.A collection of English traditions
has been built up around thepudding. Typically the dessert isserved with a sprig of holly leaves,representing the crown of thorns,and a small coin is hidden in thepudding.Whoever finds it will have good
luck for the ensuing year, or will atleast be able to make a very smallpurchase.The coin tradition was well
enough known that The Goon Show,an absurdist radio show presentedby BBC through the 1950s, was ableto get laughs by having a characterhunting a feral pudding load hisgun with three penny coins. Personally, I find the plum
pudding a bit heavy, especiallywhen it is served with thetraditional accompaniment — hardsauce.I do like seeing it brought to
table bathed in a wreath of blueflames, after a snifter of warmedbrandy is poured over it and lit.My father told me of a flambé
gone wrong in his younger days. Heand my mother went to visit hiscousin and brought with them abottle of very good scotch.In those days it must have
represented a very major strain ontheir budget.The cousin and his wife were
serving crepes to a crowd anddecided to set them alight using thewhisky as fuel. Perhaps they failedto warm the scotch, or there wassome other difficulty.At any rate they used the whole
bottle, but the booze never lit. Myfather never told me whether theyate the crepes anyway. My guess isthey did and woke with the world’sfirst pancake hangovers.Brandy will burn easily and
most of the alcohol will be consumed
in the process, making the festivedish suitable for children.
English Plum Pudding
1/2 cup figs1-1/2 cups currants2 cups raisins2 cups sultanas3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped1 cup dates, pitted and chopped3/4 cup dried pineapple chopped1/4 cup honey-dipped papaya,
chopped1 cup almonds, slivered
(blanching is optional)2 apples, peeled, cored, and
grated1 carrot, grated4 tablespoons grated orange
rind
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind1 cup apple juice, cider, or
brandy2 cups whole wheat flour4 cups soft whole-grain bread
crumbs1/3 cup honey1 teaspoon allspice1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon salt1/2 pound suet or hard butter,
coarsely grated6 eggs1/3 cup orange juice1/4 cup lemon juice
In a large bowl, combine driedfruit, nuts, apple, carrot, orange,and lemon rind with liquids. Mixthoroughly and set aside.
In another bowl combine flour,bread crumbs, honey, spices, salt,suet or butter and mix well withyour hands.Beat eggs until light and lemon
colored. Stir in orange and lemonjuices, then combine with the fruitmixture.Add flour mixture to fruit
mixture and beat with a woodenspoon, or knead with your handsuntil all the ingredients are wellcombined.Cover the bowl with a damp
towel and refrigerate it overnight,at least 12 hours.Place mixture in four one-quart
or two two-quart buttered bowls(stainless steel, Pyrex, or ceramic),filled to within two inches of thebrim.Cover each bowl with oiled or
buttered cloth and tie securelyunder the rim of the bowl. Thenplace aluminum foil over the clothand pinch it tightly around the rim,to keep all steam or water out.Place each bowl in a large pot
and pour enough boiling wateraround it to come three-quarters ofthe way up the side of the bowl.Cover the pot tightly with a lid.Keep heat at lowest possible leveland steam for six to eight hours. Itis vital to tend them very carefullyso the hot water does not boil away.Keep adding boiling water fromtime to time.When finished remove puddings
from pots and cool to roomtemperature. Remove foil and clothand cover in fresh foil. Store in therefrigerator for three to four weeksbefore you serve the puddings.To prepare puddings for
servings, place them, again coveredwith cloth and aluminum foil, in acovered pot with boiling water, butsteam only for two to four hours.To remove pudding from bowl,
loosen carefully with a rubberspatula around the outside andinvert onto a serving plate.Warm brandy or rum, pour over
the pudding and ignite.The recipe makes four puddings,
of eight servings, or two with 16servings.
Hard sauce
1/4 pound butter1 cup sugar1 pinch salt1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 ounce brandy or rum
Beat all ingredients togetheruntil very well combined. Servewith pudding.
