In 29 short stories, author Cornelius 'Con' Hogan has captured the essence of some of Vermont's political figures, local farmers, people in business and some who have worked in Vermont's correctional system. The stories are told in general chronological order from the early 70's to today. Together, the episodes add up to a portrait that captures a special spirit of Vermonters of many different backgrounds and experiences. Anyone who enjoys Vermont will appreciate these stories.

Tom Slayton, Editor Emeritus of Vermont Life magazine says:
"Con Hogan's stories about the Vermonters he has met inside and outside state government are priceless! This is a completely entertaining book that captures much of what it means to be a Vermonter."
