Green Mountain Quartet: Essays on Antiquarian Vermontiana
The history of collecting and writing about Vermont’s history and historic documents, often called Vermontiana, goes back almost two centuries, with historians such as Vermont Historical Society co-founder Henry Stevens, Sr. (1791-1867) assembling remarkable collections of Vermont books, newspapers, manuscripts, and ephemera for himself and VHS.
Others followed well into the 20th century, and Green Mountain Quartet explores the intertwined careers and writings of four antiquarian Vermontiana specialists: Harold Goddard Rugg (1883-1957), T. D. Seymour “Tom” Bassett (1913-2001), Marcus A. McCorison’s (1926-2013), and J. Kevin Graffagnino.
Green Mountain Quartet is a companion to Graffagino’s 2024 book Vermontiana and features a selection of the principal Rugg-Bassett-McCorison-Graffagnino writings on Vermontiana, with an introductory essay on their lives and careers.
