Vermont

The majestic Green Mountains that cover Vermont compensate for
the lack of a seacoast. Between the peaks stand high green
meadows and deep, dark lakes, two of which are said to
harbor sea serpents. Settled in the 1700s under
conflicting land grants from New York
and New Hampshire, Vermont was an
independent republic from 1777,
becoming the 14th US state in 1791.
A rugged independence persists in
Vermonters, who despite severe winter
weather seem to be outdoors year-round,
hiking, skiing, skating, sledding, cycling,
kayaking, hunting, and fishing, sometimes Skiing in Northeast
against a brilliant background of fall leaves. Kingdom
