Abby Hemenway and the Vermonters' Portrait in Mrs Morrissey
A 1973 review lauds the five volume Abby Hemenway work, detailing her relentless biography of early Vermont, its moralist tone, vivid anecdotes, and focus on pioneers from Windsor County to Civil War era. It notes her stubborn alphabetical organization, wartime context, and the book’s feisty, period voice preserved by Mrs Morrissey. The piece highlights themes of land speculation, anti gambling sentiment, and the tension between city visitors and rural Vermont life.
