§ Wings of the Morning by Frederic F. Van DeWater (1955).
Historical fiction which uses such Dummerston families as Kathan, Spaulding, Houghton, Aldrich, Harvey, Reynolds and French to relate their story of the controversy of Vermont becoming a state and the Westminster Massacre. The author was a resident of Dummerston, Windham Co., VT, and, on the book jacket is quoted, I've used my own town, Dummerston, as the principal site of the action, and most of the people in the story actually lived and did, or quite easily could have done, what I make them do.
