The Honorable Hiram Carleton was a prominent
Vermont judge and six time president of the Vermont Historical Society.
About 1900 he was commissioned by the Lewis Publishing Company to
prepare this wonderful collection of illustrated biographical and
genealogical essays of noted Vermonters and their families. The
arrangement and contents of these two volumes established a pattern for
which the Lewis Publishing Company would become famous over the first
quarter of this century. The Introduction explains Vermont's unique
place among the states and draws attention to milestones in its
history. The sketches or essays that follow trace family history
forward from the oldest known ancestor of the line to the family member
featured in the sketch, for whom, in turn, a biography often with
photographs provided. This is frequently followed by additional
collateral lines linked to the subject of the essay. Many of the
lineage's go back to 16th century England, still others emphasis
connections to Massachusetts and the other New England states.

About Our CDs
Many of our CDs are composed of collections of
multiple texts and documents concentrating on specific regions or subject
areas. Many contain 5, 10 or more separate publications. Each CD is
truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of pages of
research information. The age of most of these text make them
inaccessible to the average researcher. Naturally their scarcity and
fragility makes them very expensive to acquire hence often kept under lock
and key in an effort to preserve them. Unfortunately this also makes them
unavailable for public view. Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages
of the original text making them not only excellent resources but archival
copies available for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of
these books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of a
CD. The average cost of a single
CD, containing our "theme or regional" based collections has been kept
affordable in an effort to make this information obtainable to as many home
researchers as possible.
Our CDs have become the
ultimate research tool. Having a copy on hand allows research at your leisure
and your schedule while in the comfort of your home. Additionally you can still
print individual or groups of pages as you need directly from your CDs.
Giving you the best of both old and new research techniques. Unless
otherwise noted most pdf Files are now searchable. Searchable pdf
files allow single or multiple file searches with one
search request.
Our CDs are designed to be easily
used even for those new to
computers. The opening
