Burlington, Vermont/city history

Question
Hi, Mr. Beckett.

I'm writing a novel set in a city based very much on Burlington, a city I've visited a few times. Could you recommend any experts on city history, politics, trivia, etc...to add more local color?  

Thank you very much!

Stefano

Answer
Vince Feeney might know who could help you. He's a local historian - you'll find notices about lectures he's given at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum's www site. I'd also go to The University of Vermont's www site and look for somebody in the history department.

If you have specific questions, I may be able to help.
