    Welcome to Montpelier! 
    One of the nicest things about being in the smallest state capital in the country is that it’s easy to walk around and see almost everything without feeling overwhelmed. 
    The catch is, you don’t always know what you’re looking at. Whether you are a visitor or a long-time resident, you might find yourself strolling around the historic downtown, enjoying its vintage character, and wishing you had just a little more of the backstory. Who lived in those gorgeous old single-family homes on Main Street? What is that red castle-looking thing across the street from the State House? Why does the library have two names? 
    In these five walking tours around the heart of the city, Montpelier native Kathryn Guare is your companionable guide, bringing the history of her hometown to vivid life by sharing stories of its highs and lows, its heroes and ghosts, its well-known sights and hidden treasures. She also makes sure you get the most out of what the city has to offer today – pointing out what you’ll find inside the restaurants and shops along the route; where to find recreational trails for every season; what venues feature live music, from chamber orchestras to heavy metal. Also, as any good guide should, she hits every mouth-watering bakery in town. 
    This guide is perfect for:Visitors: It will make you linger in the capital of Vermont a little longer than you might have expected to.New Residents: Get up to speed quickly on your new hometown.Long-time Residents: You will look with fresh eyes at the places you’ve known for years…and learn something new about them.

    “This is the best work ever written on hidden treasure, and one of the most fascinating books on any subject to come out of Texas.” —Basic Texas Books   Written in 1930, Coronado’s Children was one of J. Frank Dobie’s first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado.   “These people,” Dobie writes in his introduction, “no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado’s inheritors . . . I have called them Coronado’s children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load . . .”   This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses.  “As entrancing a volume as one is likely to pick up in a month of Sundays.” —The New York Times  “Dobie has discovered for us a native Arabian Night.” —Chicago Evening Post

    Renowned author D. H. Lawrence recounts his voyage to Sardinia in this spellbinding travelogue. In January of 1921, D. H. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda, set out for unspoiled country: the pristine island of Sardinia. For the following nine days, Lawrence fixes his unflinching gaze upon the Mediterranean island, where ancient ruins collide with the detritus of a modernizing society. Blending mythology with historical fact, his account is both lyrical and shrewdly observed. With a keen awareness of the socio-political climate, Lawrence captures a Sardinia that is both timeless and of the moment.  This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
