Events of This Day

From June 28 1933 to June 27 1934 every day for a year Dorman B. E. Kent wrote an article for the <I>Montpelier Evening Argus</I> about the people places and events of late 19th and early 20th century Montpelier and many surrounding towns. In these articles he mentions thousands of people by name and writes a compelling history of Montpelier not so much through the eyes of the community leaders and high society types that often dominate such histories but through anecdotes of those both great and small and in doing so he gives a good account that should be of interest to all of those who can trace their roots back to the smallest state capitol in the country.</P>
