Memoirs of coming into Vermont (Cavendish) in the depression, ca. 1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/730256436

The collection consists of a photocopy of the typed memoirs of Philip W. Tiemann, who moved with his family to Vermont during the Great Depression. The memoirs are 102 pages in length and contain references to the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), Andover town meetings, farming and sugaring. While the focus is primarily on the experiences of a "city couple" purchasing and learning to run a farm during the Tiemanns' first few years in Vermont, Philip Tiemann also briefly describes his service in World War II. Although the memoirs were reportedly written 33 years after Philip Tiemann and his family moved to Vermont in 1933, only the period from 1933 to 1947 is covered.
