Swinging axes soon made way\u003cbr\u003efor the burgeoning split-level town, with stately Main Street\u003cbr\u003ehomes on St. Johnsbury Plain presiding in grandeur over the\u003cbr\u003ebustling commerce of Railroad Street below. Peggy Pearl brings\u003cbr\u003ea decidedly human element to this comprehensive history, \u003cbr\u003ewandering the graves of Mount Pleasant Cemetery and bringing\u003cbr\u003eto life the stories of those tanners, cobblers, millworkers and\u003cbr\u003ebrick makers who made St. Johnsbury their home.
