Sobre este e-book
In Burlington Volume II, authors Mary Ann DiSpirito
and David Robinson continue the detailed look at
this intriguing Vermont city. Discovered by Samuel de
Champlain in 1609, the next few centuries saw Burlington evolve from a wilderness to a small settlement, and eventually, flourish into Vermonts largest city. Situated on the shores of Lake Champlain, Burlingtons waterfront area became the early center of commerce in the late eighteenth century with the rise of the lumber industry and the use of ships for transport. By 1865, when Burlington was incorporated as a city, the industries that
profoundly shaped Burlingtons personality were already well establishedthese included lumber, textiles, shipping, and the railroad, as well as higher education.

Sobre o autor
David Robinson and Mary Ann DiSpirito have carefully selected over 200 images, most of which are previously unpublished, that illustrate the many changes that Burlington has endured since the 1860s. Included in Burlington Volume II are images of the city that date prior to the 1860s, when our ancestors depended on sketches and engravings to preserve memories. DiSpirito is the author of several short stories and numerous magazine articles in regional and national publications, while Robinson has written several books and many magazine articles. The combination of fascinating images and informative captions will make Burlington Volume II a treasured addition to the personal libraries of residents and visitors for years to come.
