Books in the Family Histories series

Originally written for private distribution in 1954, this account of the Closeburn Kirkpatricks was, the author says,"a story that needed to be told." The family's connections extend through the Isle of Wight to France and Spain.

The Spanish language edition of 'William Kirkpatrick of Malaga: Consul, Negociant and Entrepreneur, and Grandfather of the Empress Eugenie' (ISBN 9781845300715).

A Vermonter 'in spirit' brings to life the stories preserved in boxes of family documents, letters, diaries, photographs and books, from personal and archive collections, in a way that only a historian of societies and ideas can do. These stories reveal how individual lives helped make the Northeast Kingdom what it was, and cannot be again.
