It includes entries on famous and infamous Vermonters; features of the physical landscape; political, economic, and social history; organizations such as the 251 Club; and tidbits about Vermont - for instance, nudism in the state, the Wasp (the only car ever made in Vermont), the fabled fur-bearing trout, and the invention of the jogbra.
