BIOGRAPHY: Crook An American Family 1698-1955 , Page 28 It is interesting to relate that in the midst of war in the summer of 1778, the first printing office in Vermont was established at Westminster by Judah Poddock Spooner and Timothy Green. The venture must have been a success for they soon published the first newspaper in Vermont, "The Vermont Gazetter or Green Mountain Post-Boy," Westminster, February, 1781. The paper's motto or guiding principle was characteristic reading for the Green Mountain State: BIOGRAPHY: Firm as the hills to stem oppressor's tide." |
