Henry Clay Ide Quotes

“The Ides of Vermont took ten years of research, because it is close to the bone family-wise and yet takes place during a pivotal period in American history when the country was flexing its muscles and stretching its stated intentions of restricting its borders; when unprecendented money was being amassed in new areas of commerce; and yet once again human nature is showing its inability to learn from the past or change its nature in any significant way.”
― Cynthia Osborne Hoskin, The Ides of Vermont: A Tale of International Adventure During the Gilded Age
