Rural Vermont and Patriotism in Decline and Debt
A fragmented excerpt discusses Vermont losing men to frost and gold, claiming rural na tures lack patriotic fervor as youth seek fortune elsewhere. It cites warning that national shortages could emerge if rural communities fall short, referencing satirical lines about social expectations and marriage. The text ends with a Boston fest reference and an odd cake method time.
