From Champlain’s first sight of its mountains in 1609, Robinson follows the land that became Vermont as a highway for French and Indian war parties, then as the disputed New Hampshire Grants. He tells of the Green Mountain Boys, the Westminster massacre, Ticonderoga and the long struggle with New York that led to an independent state.
