I just finished the hardcover 1990 edition from the library, but now I am going to buy the updated paperback with the revisions and forward by Senator Leahy. The pictures are so true to the people we have met in our short time in The Northeast Kingdom. Amazingly we have been lucky to come to know a couple portrayed in the book, Amelia and Tim Fritz.

My husband and I are "Flatlanders" from Wisconsin and we are moving back to the Midwest, but we have internalized the lessons of the "Woodchucks" on how to be creative and find new solutions when faced with a tricky situation, big or small.
"Flatlanders come to Vermont and dig a big hole with a nice view and sometimes they get buried in it. Us old woodchucks, we have a hidey hole that on one knows about. When things are bad, we go out the back door. Flatlanders don't think of that." So says Joe Tombley.

I am also looking forward to another Peter Miller book, Vermont Farm Women.
