BRATTLEBORO-Peter Adair's essay is the best piece of writing I have seen in The Commons: tightly composed and packed with fascinating vignettes that leave me wanting more.
I hope the author will consider sketching the 12-Step Program founders, early Quakers (1780) in Danby, and how the Great Awakening played out in Vermont.
