Granite Kingdom is a compelling story about a small Vermont town grappling with the changes that swept many American communities in the early twentieth century. It is a welcome addition to Vermont's granite story. -Scott McLaughlin, Executive Director, Vermont Granite Museum

With an engaging cast of characters, Granite Kingdom is a complex yet balanced look at the granite industry and newspaper business in rural Vermont in the early 1900s.
It is 1910, and the northern Vermont village Granite Junction is the nation‘s largest supplier of finished granite for construction. Newspaper reporter Dan Strickland, a stonecutter‘s son who hopes to find the right wife and climb the social

EadieB ladder, finds himself caught between the village‘s two big granite producers, George Rutherford and Ernest Wheeler.
This book was very interesting and I learned a lot about the granite industry while reading the book. The newspaper business in rural Vermont also played a big part in the granite industry with Dan Strickland as a stonecutter's son. I look forward to reading another book by Eric Pope as this one was very well research.
