Forever Calais - A Detailed, Scholarly, Lively History
Everything you ever wanted to know about this archetypal Vermont town—with its creatively anglicized pronunciation (only a non-Vermonter needs to be told that the name of this town rhymes with “Dallas”)—has been meticulously set down by an author who could be described as the most qualified living person to do so. Weston A. Cate Jr. is a former director of the Vermont Historical Society and author of a history of the VHS (Up and Doing [1988]).*
