1791 Vermont admitted into the Union as a separate and independent state.
            Vermont! thou art a glorious State,
                Though small in acres and in skies;
            But 'tis not length that make one great, 
                Nor breadth that gives a nation size.
            Thy mountains and thy mountain air
                Have reared a noble race of men.
            And women, fairest of the fair,
            Their labors and their love to share.
                Where shall we see their like again?
            I love them all, which most I shan't advise,
            Thy mountains, maidens or thy pumpkin pies.
                                        -A Vermonter in Clinton County Whig, Aug., 1851.
