Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the Fourth of July, 1881, and the festivities that took place on Masons Point at Lake Bomoseen. The author meticulously recounts the dayââ â¢s events, including speeches, musical performances, and the main event ââ â the christening of Neshobe, a beautiful island lying just off Masons Point. The island's christening was a significant moment for the Rutland County Historical Society, whose members saw it as a way to mark a special place in local history and give it a name that would be remembered for generations. Beyond the celebration, the author also captures the somber mood that permeated the day due to the recent assassination attempt on President James Garfield. The book delves into the rich history of the island, tracing its ownership back to the original grantees of the township of Castleton. The author reveals intriguing details about how the island was cleared and used for agriculture and pasturage, as well as its connection to Native American populations, who likely used the island as a hunting and fishing ground. The book also provides insights into the lives of the early settlers who inhabited the area and the traditions that developed around Lake Bomoseen. The author's fascinating account of this small islandââ â¢s history reflects the broader themes of early American settlement, local history, and the power of place. The book reveals a deep appreciation for the details that shape a community's past and the importance of preserving this knowledge for future generations.
