GHS: History Thru Song 2015-07-15

This is the video from the Georgia Historical Program "Vermont History through Song" July 15, 2015. Singer and researcher Linda Radtke, joined by pianist Arthur Zorn, brings Vermont history to life with engaging commentary about the songs found in the Vermont music. Dressed in period costume and using the music Vermonters published and sang in their communities, Ms. Radtake guides listeners through our state's history from the earliest published song, "Green Mountain Farmer" (1798), through 1850 temperance ballads and Civil War era songs, to songs about Vermonters Calvin Coolidge, Thomas Dewey, and Jim Fisk.
