New book traces Vermont and New Hampshire divide to the soil
Original: New book traces Twin States’ cultural split to the soil itself
A newly published book argues that the cultural differences between Vermont and New Hampshire — the so-called Twin States — stem from differences in their soil and land. The author links the states' distinct political and social characters to how their landscapes shaped farming, settlement and economic life. Regional readers are taking note of the geological explanation for a long-observed divide between two neighbouring states.
Why now: The book's soil-based explanation for a well-known regional cultural divide is a fresh angle on a familiar New England comparison.
