Keene makes a major contribution to the study of American  colonial and nineteenth century cultural history. Geographic and  economic influences are examined as they affected music and education  in Vermont. Vermont's early educational system is related to its  people's unique sense of independence. The private school and its early  acceptance of music are explored, and an intriguing story unfolds  regarding the nature of Vermont musicians and their conflict with their  European-trained counterparts who were coming to America in  ever-increasing numbers. Charming anecdotes are found throughout. The  reader will find many parallels between the problems of nineteenth  century education in Vermont and those of today. The cyclic nature of  educational concerns and the public's rediscovery of solutions form an  integral part of this valuable historical volume.
