Summary "Vermont: A Study of Independence" by Rowland Evans Robinson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the establishment of Vermont, detailing key historical events from the early colonial period through the struggles for independence, particularly examining the socio-political dynamics that unfolded in the region. The narrative delves into the conflict between different colonial interests and the eventual rise of a distinct Vermont identity. The opening of the text sets the stage for the exploration of Vermont's tumultuous history, beginning with the observations of Samuel Champlain and transitioning into the various conflicts that marked the region's early colonial life, including warfare between French and English settlers and Indigenous peoples. It describes the geography and natural beauty of the land while hinting at the impending strife as settlers encroach on Indigenous territories. The narrative presents a vivid picture of early encounters and the subsequent gradual settlement of Vermont, leading to the larger themes of independence that will be addressed in the ensuing chapters. The prose illustrates the challenges faced by early settlers and the battles fought in pursuit of self-governance and sovereignty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
