Vermont 1700s (Late) - Old Slipperyskin Terrorizes Farmers

[Trogluddite]

This is a more fulsome description of some of the earlier events; this newspaper article is similar to the Vermonter Blog articles although it omits the "bear" that harassed Roger's Rangers as they retreated from Canada in 1759. This "bear" lived over 50 years.

 

UPDATE 28 August 2026: This article was published in The Rutland Daily Herald of Rutland (VT) on December 24, 1978.
