The Birthplace of Vermont: A History of Windsor to 1781 is a comprehensive historical account of the formative years of Windsor, Vermont, tracing its evolution from a colonial frontier to a center of political revolution. Henry Steele Wardner provides a meticulous examination of the town's early development, detailing the complex land grant system, the arrival of the first settlers, and the socio-economic growth of the community through the mid-18th century.

Central to this work is the pivotal role Windsor played in the establishment of the Vermont Republic. The narrative focuses on the town as the setting for the adoption of the Vermont Constitution in 1777, an event that solidified its legacy as the birthplace of the state. Wardner explores the intense territorial disputes between New Hampshire and New York, the local impact of the American Revolutionary War, and the influential figures who steered the region toward independence. This volume is a valuable resource for those interested in New England local history, the intricacies of colonial governance, and the foundational events that shaped the Green Mountain State.
