{"product_id":"castleton-vermont-donald-h-thompson-9781609490966","title":"Castleton, Vermont:: Its Industries, Enterprises and Eateries","description":"Castleton is a quintessential Vermont village, historic homes, churches and a college stand side by side with locally owned country stores and restaurants. The town's rich history has always been influenced by its industrious citizens, and in its early days, mills sprang up along the Castleton River and local foundries produced nails, stoves and plows. The arrival of the railroad in the mid-1800s created another economic boom for the village and spurred the growth of the slate and marble companies until Castleton's industrial might rivaled that of Rutland. Author Don Thompson uses personal anecdotes from residents in addition to original research to tell the fascinating history of Castleton and the productive people who have built and nurtured it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald H.
