From the first moment he examined a track in sandstone in Greenfield, Mass., in 1835, he was convinced that they were the tracks of animals. Further study led him to the conclusion that they were the tracks of ancient birds, some with feet as long as 18 inches. Today we know that Edward Hitchcock was right, many of those tracks were made by the ancient ancestors of modern birds - making Edward Hitchcock the first scientist to find evidence of dinosaurs in North America. Massachusetts author Bob McMaster was surprised some years ago to discover that no biography had ever been written of the man. In 2021 he published the first ever biography of Edward Hitchcock, All the Light here Comes from Above: The Life and Legacy of Edward Hitchcock. In his Zoom presentation, McMaster will review the life and legacy of Edward Hitchcock, particularly his central role in developing our understanding of dinosaurs He will also discuss Hitchcock's work in Vermont where he completed the first geological survey of the Green Mountain State in 1861.

See more details VT Humanities: The Many Meanings of Maple VT Humanities: The Many Meanings of Maple February 23, 2023 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm A Vermont Humanities Council series hosted by the Hartland Public Library. This presentation examines the many meanings of maple sugaring. Maple is enormously important to Vermont’s economy, ecology, and heritage. Champlain College professor Michael Lange will discuss sugaring ethnographically, based on over five years of research among sugarmakers all over the state, to learn from them what sugaring really means to Vermont. Rather than discussing the practical aspects of sugaring, such as how to tap a tree or how an evaporator works, his talk focuses on how and why maple has become so important to Vermont’s identity, and how and why it helps us shape who we are as Vermonters. About the presenter: Dr. Michael Lange is a professor of anthropology and folklore at Champlain College in Burlington. He has authored several academic works on cultural identity. His recent work draws on research with sugarmakers across Vermont and includes “Foodie Influence on the Culinary Meanings of Maple Syrup” and “Sweet Bedfellows: Continuity, Change, and Terroir in Maple Syrup”. His most recent book, Meanings of Maple, is available from the University of Arkansas Press, Phoenix Books, and other sources. Meanings of Maple was recently named a Choice “Outstanding Academic Title”. Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Vermont Humanities Council (VHC). Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or VHC. See more details • •	24	25
