Vermont praised as land of beauty and generous people
The author extols Vermont for its terraced hills, con condensed scenery, and climate seen as tropical to Wisconsinites. He lauds college graduates, farm wealth, and the bobolink, while noting Vermonters emigrate West for opportunity. He recalls an old farm house, its chimneys and memories, as a poignant contrast to modern land ownership.
