About me

Gender Male
Occupation Physician-retired
Location South Burlington, Vermont
Introduction I am a retired physician with a long time interest in conservation and the natural world. My Vermont Outdoors blog is intended to be a personal journal, documenting my activities outdoors, some of which may be of interest to visitors to Vermont and, more specifically, local birders and anglers. In addition, I have had a longstanding interest in Civil War and post-Civil war politics and culture. Butler's Blog, focused on the life and times of the irrascible politician Benjamin F. Butler, reflects this interest.
Interests Anything outdoors. 19th century history.
Favorite Books I am currently slogging through Sean Wilenz's tome Democracy in America from Jefferson to Licoln. I am also reading an excellent new book on Lake Champlain published to commemorate the Champlain quadricentennial.
