Description

The story of a quintessential, much-loved Vermont family who ran a country store while making many contributions to their community and state. "This portrayal of each member of the Pierce family warmly captures the old-fashioned values instilled by their Green Mountain heritage -- love of family, duty to country, and devotion to community. This is the touching story of their legacy to future generations." -Dawn Hance, author and Vermont historian.
