>From an Archives List, for interested Maphisters: Subject: Long-standing border dispute settled (Vermont) From: Judith Turner <judy53...@yahoo.com> Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:18:12 -0700 (PDT) X-Message-Number: 13 Hard to believe it's the 21st century and a town border disput from the 18th cent. has just been resolved: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100425/ap_on_re_us/us_old_boundaries OTOH, until I read this I didn't realize Vermont was created as a way to settle a colonial era boundary dispute between New York and New Hampshire. So where exactly did Ethan Allen and the Green Mountains Boys think they were from?
