In this fascinating look at White River Junction, Dave Norman relates the history of this Vermont river town to the country at large. He puts faces, names, and anecdotes to the forces that shaped the American Century.

The village was settled at the junction of two rivers. Two railroad lines replaced the river and wagon traffic, and how, two interstates make White River three times a junction. This remarkable book looks at how the town--and America--changed through these transportation eras...and presents the lives of four locals to see how individual people are affected by technology, culture, and economics.

The first five chapters tell the town's story through histories of the railroad, a hotel, a grocery, and a bakery, and an intimate portrait of New England found on the backs of postcards. The remaining chapters introduce residents whose life stories show a town--and country--in transition while begging the question, what makes a Vermonter?
