Vermont

Vermont history hums with the American spirit of independence. That determined spirit armed Revolutionary forces at the Battle of Hubbardton and fortified the settlement of populist Daniel Shay. Since independence must be preserved once it is attained, a tradition of stewardship also remains as much a part of Vermont’s landscape as its iconic covered bridges. Our Vermont history books celebrate the distinctive heritage of the Green Mountain State, from the shores of Burlington to the halfpipes of Stratton Mountain. [View all Vermont books]

Flung down a well. Buried alive in the backwoods. Gunned down in broad daylight.

Not what you’d expect from a place flocked to by influencers for its cozy aesthetic and iconic fall foliage. 

Whether the crimes were intricately plotted or born of passion, Vermont’s history is filled with lawlessness, depravity, and murder. 

Some culprits struck just once, some went on a spree, while others using opportunism and cunning menaced entire regions for years. 

From the place Vermont calls “The Kingdom” to its “Marble City,” Thea Lewis, author of True Crime Stories of Burlington, Vermont, offers up more than a century of mayhem, with double lives, serial killers, and a plot to slay a beloved pop star with a global fan base. 

Join her as she peels back the region’s reputation for wholesomeness and rural charm to show you the darker side of the Green Mountain State.
